Description
Four barechested armourers of 78 Fighter Wing RAAF wheel a trolley of 250 pound bombs to the Wing's Vampire fighter aircraft during the annual armament practice camp at the RAF base in Cyprus. The Wing was stationed in Malta and engaged in numerous exercises and other activities around the Mediterranean region. The heat of the sun is suggested by the absence of shirts.
