Hi Bill;
Regarding the photo of "A" Sqn:
This was taken on Sunday, 20 May 1945 in Enschede, according to the "B" Sqn diary for May 1945, the diary entry reading:
'20 May 45.
A bright Sunday morning, ideal for the taking of Squadron Photographs, that Major Copley had arranged for the previous day. The photographer arrived somewhat late and unable to decide how the 200 members of the Squadron were to be posed, kept everyone standing about for over an hour. Not calculated to put the men in good humor, but nevertheless they all had a smile for the birdie when he finally came. The rest of the day was a rest period and the day passed without further note.'

I believe Art Bell has a copy of the photo that was taken of all of RHQ in the same area as that of the one you posted of NCO's of RHQ, it has a single scout car on either flank if I remember correctly.
Cheers
