Old Photos

Photos (some of them very old) from Dad's garage. Scanned professionally, but as yet not worked on in Photoshop, so quality will get better. Big question: WHO ARE THEY? As Dad's brother Peter says he doesn't recognize any of the old photos, one must assume they are from Mum's side of the family.

Kim, Nana & baby Andrew at Fairoaks (?)
Kim adds: You, me & Nana in Spring or early summer 1952 in front of number 14/11, ??? Road, RAF Watton, nr Norwich.  This was sergeant’s quarters as it was just before Dad got his Q-Commission and went of to Malaya to work with the SAS in raking the CTs out of the forest.  I’m 4½ years and I can thank my lucky stars that I didn’t turn out gay!  Granddad must have already died and Nana lived for another ~10 years.
