OMG, a C8A HUP in ...Turkey!
 The caption says in greek: "Istanbul (Constantinoupolis) R.A.F. officers are photographed in front of the Sultan Ahmet mosque, builded at the begining of the 17nth sentury (1609-1616) better known as "The Blue Cami".

Excellent
Brilliant find Kostas, a perfect example of 'in the background'.

"Korea I'd guess. The 2 Chaffey tanks would be the give-away as although the Yanks had them in 1944 in Europe I don't think that there were any in the Islands with the Aussies."
I'm pretty sure the tank in the far background is an M4A3E8 ('Easy 8'). I'm betting this a Korea image for all sorts of reasons. Some (more) detail on the Chaffee: M24 Chaffee tanks (2 of) arrived in Australia in April 1945, and were trialled on Bougainville during June 45. The Pacific War was still a happening thing. Both were purchased, so stayed in Oz at completion. One is still at the Tank Museum, the other in private ownership under restoration. Mike C

hmmmm, another look at the image: I see a long barrel and muzzle brake on the 'Chaffee', which makes me think its actually an M28 Pershing that we are looking at. Definitely Korea.

From Crib Point
Here's an interesting one. Today I visited the maritime Museum and noticed this image on the wall of a Mustang forced landing. The circumstances were the Mustang had been towing targets and one of the bursts came a bit close prompting the comment from the pilot: "I'm towing the target, not pushing it".
The CMP looks a little odd... in fact it is a PMG (or ex-PMG) modified Chevrolet with a 4 door coach built cab. These were most often stretched C15 chassis. The number of Navy types is also interesting, they were from the training base HMAS Cerberus located at Crib Point in Westernport Bay, Victoria. The date was December 1st, 1954, the Mustang was A68-122 which was converted to components almost two years later.
