HIGH WYCOMBE AND RAF BOOKER
In the final sequence of the closedown of the military structure of the Suez Canal Zone, the remaining personnel of No2 PSCO Wing of 107 MU were repatriated to the UK and located at RAF Booker which was adjacent to High Wycombe, in order to continue the investigation into the huge discrepancies thrown up in the latest bi-annual stock-take of the 107MU stores held at RAF Kasfareet

High Wycombe (or Booker ?)...More than likely Booker because of the trees. Cpl Colin Harrington is seated at the front alongside Don Lovatt from Wolverhampton. Johnny Mayo from Blackpool is on the extreme right and Gerry Hancock has his hand to his throat with Ken Millington looking over his left shoulder.
