I believe the photo is of the air gunners at training. I m not sure when or where it was taken.

Additional Information:

My wife's uncle, Ron Dudley, was in that crew. I have put together a lot of information about the crew, including all their operations. There are some details at https://raf-pathfinders.com/

If the nephew of rear-gunner Bill Parsley reads this, there are a few new records of the flight crew. A book on Ron Dudley, navigator of Lancaster JB299, photos of the crew graves in Berlin and some details of the shooting down from a German account. Contact me if you'd like details.
