Hello, my name is Richard currently living in darkest Essex.
I’m a retired RAF/Police/Border Force man and a collector of bronze OSD and RFC/RAF badges the roots of which started with my Grandfather, a Boer and WW1 and amazingly a WW2 veteran who started a very eclectic badge collection. I’ve had a pleasant rummage around various forum threads especially Air Force related subjects.
If l can work out how to download photos from my l phone I’ll submit some questions. Is their a idiots guide anywhere?

You may discover that some of the photos you post may be 'rotated' , this seems to happen automatically with some I phones.

Thanks most helpful. First task is trying to confirm if a bronze Royal Scots Fusiliers Officer badge is the genuine article hopefully someone in the forum can say yay or nay!

I have had this same orientation problem. When this occurs I go to the photo in the photo app, enter edit mode, rotate the photo 180 degrees, save the changes, enter edit mode again, rotate the photo back to the correct orientation and save the changes again. Now when I load the photo into a message it appears correctly.
