    any info on what camera used? my initial assumption its large format at least 4x5. in that case it have enough resolution that you could identify each person. probably thats why theyre looking at the camera.

      I don’t have the answer, but can point you in the right direction. The photographer is David McLellan, Second Lieutenant. It’s catalogue number Q9534 in the Imperial War Museum. McLellan had access to custom cameras like surveillance cameras for use in planes.
