   I have a suggestion here:
 
CASA 207- This bird has the Hercules 730 engines, making it a little slow, it has short range, but it was perfect for the short flights in Spain for transport.

One of the first designs by CASA (Spain's aircraft manufacturer) and one of the longest serving, from 1955 to 1984.

Ah the Beautiful K98 and the Planes too!

Seeing all these Mausers makes me wanna go shoot mine!

[BravoFxTrt]

Lets go! We get some Beers then shoot the empty bottles!

Forget the rifles and the airplanes....Look at those Buckets!!
Mighty fine looking buckets. They don´t make buckets like that anymore.

[BravoFxTrt]

I dont know but that Bottle of German hooch looks good too! After we drink that we can shoot that bottle!

I can't believe you're all missing the obvious centrepiece of this composition. That's a trestle table, right there, c1940 and with painted legs no less. RLM65 Hellblau I reckon.

And how are you going to shoot that bottle without something to put it on, eh?

I am not sure, it looks more like a circa 1936-1939 Sawhorse Dining Table, in RLM65 Hellblau.
Notice that the paint is chipped off in some areas, so it must have travelled through much of Europe. The table top looks like a sturdy piece of pinewood that hasn´t been painted yet. Probably only a few thick coats of shiny varnish. Notice the two men standing on the side of the table are looking and admiring its polish and gleem in the sunlight. Must be very
good varnish on that table top.

These guys must be recent consripts or something, that table top just hasn't been centralised correctly. That Enigma machine could fall right off if they're not careful

And look - the guy on the left just got a stick from the woods to compare it with and can't quite believe how something so beautiful could be made from bits of tree

[max_thehitman]

Very true Marcost. These guys must be city folk, they never saw such beautiful wood
like that before. Just notice the guys near the airplanes. Two of them are lying down
on the grass like as if they never were out on the farm before while the other two on the right side of image are jumping around like rabbits on the grass. Look at them jump.
They must be city folk.
If they were farmers they would be preparing a tractor to start cultivating the land and plant some corn or wheat. Instead of that, these guys are just lying around and parking their airplanes on the grass. I am sure there must be a "NO WALKING ON THE GRASS" warning sign somewhere. They must have destroyed it.
They are definitely city folk, because they even polluted the grass land with gasoline barrels.
Those barrels should be turned up not sideways. Instead, these guys just throw their barrels all over the place, without caring if they destroy the farm with toxic waste.

Yep and being ci~ty folk in the country for the first time, the guard has gone skinny dipping in the pond, there's his clothes and boots and rifle just abandoned right there. If he'd been where he should be, the SOE agent would never have got close enough to take this photo
