That picture was in the Mess at Gormanston many years ago and was of a five ship formation. I believe the picture was taken by another Seafire.

I don't know, but there's a plenty of old photographs of various planes, tanks, ships etc for sale.
So I thought it could be one of these...

Where exactly is the backdrop -- spot a double decker on the road below, looks somewhere like Howth Road out of Dublin but cant quite reconcile that big institutional building in the background ...

That there be the Rock Road in Blackrock with Willow Park School in the background:
Google Maps (that bus hasn't got far in the intervening years!)
