Starting up

Being a modeller I frequently recieve photo's of diorama's etc.The latest was also accompagnied by the real photo on which the modelbuilder based his work.There is no caption with the photo but I looked it up  and if I'm not mistaken ,the sea plane is a Vought Kingfisher probably from 765 Squadron,Sandbanks,1943.For me it was a first,never seen a plane being refueled like this.The refueler is a Bedford QL 4x4 950 Gallon Petrol Tanker .
