Image from the Bryan Young personal collection. Group of naked pilots from No. 81 Squadron push-starting a truck on a beach in Burma. Bryan Young's information supplied "Location - An ocean beach of the Bay of Bengal in the Arakan on the Burmese coast sometime during February 1944. Subject - The rea ends of pilots of B Flight, 81 Spitfire Squadron of 221 Group 3rd Tactical Air Force, SEAC. Shows South Africans, Englishmen, Canadians and Kiwis endeavouring to push-start their transport at the water's edge after it had been caught by an unexpected wave. The flight had been released for the afternoon and we were indulging ourselves by going down to the sea to sluice away some of the accumulated grime. Water was a precious commodity on the airstrip from which we operated."
