I think the pub in the left foreground was the Marquess of Granby,it too may have been redeveloped. |
Thanks for the local update on the picture of R5552. The photograph was taken in Leeds during the "Wings For Victory" week that commenced 26/6/1943.
After "Wings For Victory" week R5552 was transferred to 166 Squadron and was lost on 21/12/1943 on a raid to Frankfurt.
