50) Special RAF Assorted 50) Special RAF Assorted.jpg
To celebrate this 50th Photo Pack for the Archive, we have created a very special collection of photos, recently acquired, which was part of the Norman Franks collection. Norman was a well known author who had been in contact with hundreds of veterans over 40 years. He made good copies of many of their private photo albums and so his collection always included many rare and non-official photos. We have several thousand to scan but here is a first batch of over 300 photos, including private photos from the likes of Neville Duke, Frank Carey and many others. There are some really rare images here and it's a privilege to be able to save them for the future here.
