Description

El Daba, Egypt, 1943. At an airfield on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, two mechanics with No. 451 Squadron RAAF carry out repairs to one of the unit's vehicles which they have stripped down to the chassis. The squadron was involved in the defence of the Nile delta and in protecting allied convoys in the Mediterranean. (Donor M. Johnson)
