Thanks for noting that Andrew. The service branch was misidentified by the photographer and we had previously kept it sic erat scriptum. After your note, we do see that it was probably better to provide proper information and point out the error on the backside image (see https://ww2db.com/photo.php?list=sp&sp=series&image_id=11858 ). Thank you.

I have a nice original letter Captain Fancourt wrote to Captain Reeves. The letter is dated April 27, 1942, with Captain Fancourt's signature.

Captain Fancourt was Royal Navy, not RAF.
