Some M8 in a PBY that needs to put his shirt back ono...geeesh. Looks RAF too. Or then again maybe he's just listening to the radio waiting for his laundry to be finished :D

Looks like Jacques Cousteau sitting in the bow observation port of the Calypso, with a loaded harpoon, waiting for Moby Dick (or one of the FDB's wading at the beach).
