Top right: Lieutenant Reg Kingsford, soon after he was commissioned; and (top left) in the FE2b, with his observer, Lieutenant Bourne, just before setting out on a night raid. Below: Reg Kingsford today, retired aviator-photographer. Behind him, in places of honour in his home, are the photograph of his son, Fit Sgt Peter Kingsford, who was killed flying a Wellington Bomber in the Western Desert in 1942, and a part of a propeller from a Beardmore engine which once powered his FE2b in France. On his knes are his log books, and he is holding “the stick” with its 33 operational notches.
