Pictures From The Past - August 24

Welcome to this week's collection of nostalgia photos from the pages of the Shropshire Star.

Published Aug 24, 2018

This picture from our archives was taken at RAF Cosford in June 1945, when the European war was over at last, but fighting was continuing in the Far East and, of course, nobody could know at that time that it would also soon be over. The picture shows RAF ground staff mechanics working on a Bristol Beaufighter.
