Athol photos

I think these photos were taken in Aboukir whilst Athol was learning to fly. They are quite small (80mm x 60mm) but very clear. The first photo has bee copied a few times and my father kept it in a lovely silver frame which was inscribed 'Aboukir, 19.2.17'.


Lt Athol Gladwyn Adams, 'A' Flight, Australian Flying Corps
This is one of the best photos we have of Athol
The image was taken when he was aged 22 and not long before he died.


Unknown pilot-trainee. 
The location is probably the same as the image above as the domed building in the background appears to be the similar.



The same distinctive building in the background.
