Nightcliff,
Description
Handwriting on back of photo: 43. MH. 52827. The photographer seems to be candid rather than press in that much of this work is not posed. A press photograph would have faces recognisable. My guess is that F/O.M.E (Tony) Hughes is adjusting his headgear, watched by a maintenance Sgt and another pilot.,
