He is not sure of the origin of the photos, but they appear to be of 1Sqn at Tengah Air Base, Singapore
and they are too good to be hidden away.

The Following Photos Were Supplied by Peter Thompson of Yorkshire, England.
Peter states that the pictures of 1Sqn at Tengah Air Base, Singapore were taken by the Tengah Camera Club in 1955 and 1956.
On the 8th of September 1955 the "Flying Nightmare" crashed
into the ocean on a night low level mission.
There were no survivors.
The Following Photos Were Supplied by Peter Hobdell. They are from his late father, James Hobdell's collection.
Of interest is the photos of the Lincolns taken at Maralinga. My fathers' notes on the back of the original photo are "Washing radioactive dust from a Lincoln after it has flown through a dust cloud from an atomic bomb explosion.".
