There is a photo of 8x sailors in front of a Wildcat aircraft. My grandfather - CPO James Searle RN - is one of these sailors. Sadly he passed away in 1960 at the age of 39. I was born in 1963. My grandfather had two sons and one daughter, all still alive. His wife died in 1989.
Is there any possibility of getting a copy of this particular photo? What do I need to do? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Paul Lebby

Incidentally, my mother has some photos from his time on HMS SHAH including, if I recall correctly, one of an aircraft ditched in the sea. This may be the very aircraft, whose story is featured on your site.
