thank you for the reply, long story sorry, i brought the camera from a gentleman, from Yorkshire, ( RAF Skipton-on-Swale ) ? he got the camera from his farther, and he was given the camera, as a boy from a pilot ?, returning to Canada after ww2, i found the id of the name and number (ground crew) serving in the RCAF, which was scratched out, and he was KIA in the middle east. all his family , brothers and sisters, are no longer with us. so putting 2 and 2 together the second owner was RCAF , hope this clears it up ?
details of the first owner. served in 424 sqdn RCAF.
