1st Lt Frank M Fink (left) and 2nd Lt Frank J Smolinsky (Right). Caption on back of Photo reads "All the best Bill; Frank M.Fink. The same from me Frank J. Smolinsky – 121 Eagle Squadron, 335 Pursuit Squadron". The Bill referred to is William George Curtin RAFVR, who served in the Operations Room at Debden for the Eagles' squadrons. It is thought this photo was taken in late 1942, early 1943 as Lt Smolinsky was unfortunately killed on 3rd April 1943.
