An RAF group photo from India - pretty large group. Atleast ten Indian airmen in there, and one WAC(I) in the front row.
No idea as to which unit, year or building it is. Seems to be on of the Delhi based palace type building..
Can anyone identify the building in the background?
Update August 2013: Readers in the Comments Section have identified this building as "Hyderabad House" which served as the Command HQ for the RAF during the Second World WAr

The associated text with the image reads: "Arjan Singh in Royal Air Force College, Cranwell (England)"
