I think you're probably half right, anyway - didn't they use the date that was already booked for Edward VIII? Which colour film did your father use/develop and how much have the shots faded?

My dad took his simple Ensign folding camera with him during the war but in his 'country-boy' innocence he wasn't covert enough when he took a shot of what he later realised were probably the planes/gliders going to Arnheim - his sergeant immediately took the camera off him and removed the film! It was probably the only film he had because we have no other wartime photos amongst the family snapshots, most of which I've retained.
