Comments: Hi, I am the nephew of the gentleman over the circled man's right shoulder. His name is Benjamin Shaw, I have been searching for any details of his time in the war. All I know is that he went to Tuscaloosa to become a pilot and I believe he was stationed at Lossiemouth from October 1942 but he was killed in an accident on the airfield in January 1943 after returning from a 'bombing run' over Germany. I have been unable to find more but upon 'googling' Tuscaloosa 1942 your M104 photo came up. amongst Ben's personal effects I have a few photos, amazingly showing other members of your picture. Once I have turned them into digitals I will send them to you. Kind regards Colin Jacques
