Life at the rear

Members of No. 609 Squadron, RAF, with the newly-arrived William (Billy) de Goat, Squadron Mascot from early 1941 to the end of the war, including service in Normandy, the Netherlands and Germany.  Billy was a gift to one of the pilots from the landlady of the local pub, The Old Jail, close to Biggin Hill station.  Here, he seems to be cosying up to a resident mascot of the canine species.  JR.
