Night fighter pilots of No. 85 Squadron RAF, wait in the crew room at Debden, Essex, ready for a sortie during the period of the full moon between 10-16 March 1941. They are (left to right): Flying Officer W F Carnaby, Flight-Lieutenant J E Marshall, Squadron Leader P W Townsend (with 'Kim' the Squadron mascot), and Pilot Officer G L Howitt. Marshall, Townsend and Howitt are wearing darkened goggles to accustom their eyes to night vision before going outside the crew room.
 During the war, the British press were forbidden to make any reference to Ground Radar guidance and acquisition radar fitted to RAF Night Fighters. So they scripted up stories of the special diet being fed to night flying crews of profuse amounts of carrots, fresh or tinned ! Not sure if the Germans were taken in or not !(Clive Copestake on FB)
