Im tending to lean towards 92

Im 99% sure the picture was taken in 1942, down around Nowra NSW.

Hi Tony,

92 was my best guess too, however that would indicate Tasmania Force post Jan '43 so I dismissed it. However I notice the image file is named 7 Mile Beach, and there's a 7 Mile Beach near Hobart as well as Nowra. I don't suppose that could be a possibility...?

I dismissed 82 because it's clearly on a horizontally divided background and the only possibility there is Arty.

As mentioned you may need your grandfather's service record to determine the unit. I found my father's service record invaluable in figuring out his numerous postings with the RAAF and RAF.
