Staff of 29 Maintenance Unit, RAF High Ercall - early to mid 1950s.

There’s a minor mystery about this picture which shows staff of 29 Maintenance Unit, RAF High Ercall.And that is this – why is there an empty chair in the front row?

This photo was loaned to us by Mrs Phyllis Swift, of Wrockwardine Wood, whose late husband Frank Swift is second from left on the back row.

He worked there from 1941 to 1956 with the instrument section. The picture probably dates from the early to mid 1950s.
