Here are those photos ................ I'm finding it very strange that these photos (of such poor quality ) are attracting such a price.

......so, they are re searchable.The photo of the aircraft has "tommy the Tourist" written on the back. The crew picture has 1895761 F/sgt E A Elleston 640 Sqdn RAF Leconfield Yorks.

There's a much better photo of 'Tommy the Tourist' and crew in Bill Norman's book (page 80 and also on the cover) Halifax Squadron- The Wartime Bombing Operations of 640 Squadron, Leconfield. (isbn 0-9547325-1-0) Also the book's less than half the current auction price and you get a lot more photos and info!!!
The caption on the photo in the book has a different spelling for the airman's name - Ernie Ellerstone but the list of aircrew at the back of the book has the same spelling as the photo - Elleston.
