This photo was the first photo in the back of Donald's log book, and it appeared above the grave marker for TK 'Ibby' Ibbotson, and as such I believe it to be his photo, a tribute by his younger brother Donald.

I am guessing that's the Wing Commander in the centre, and perhaps First Officer Kurt C. Walter to his right (the only distinguishable nametag, which reads 'Walter').

The man on the left is believed to be Kurt C. Walter, wearing an officer's cap. The other men are yet to be identified.
