Visiting the grave of a WW2 Lancaster bomber crew in Aubergenville, France. 1949.
Photo found in a bric-a-brac shop in Lewes, East Sussex. Note on the back: "Roy's grave. France"
The names of four RAF men are listed, killed 10th May 1944:
PO K. Goodwin
Sjt. FF Dring
Sjt. RE Hickling
F Sjt. S. Levy
....and here is a photograph of the actual plane, Lancaster LM466: flic.kr/p/7dy54V
The grave looks different now with its straight line of stone markers placed later by the War Graves Commission. See it on this website:

I am informed below by Flickr user Makita2011 that the people in this photo are the father and sister (Jeanie) of Roy Hickling. Makita has also uploaded another photo that appears to have been taken on the same day as this one, and a photo of Roy Hickling: flic.kr/p/9z65XP & flic.kr/p/9z9713
