There is some information on 860 Sq NAS on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/860_Naval_Air_Squadron The article gives 2 locations till December 1943; RNAS Donibristle in Scotland and Maydown in Northern-Ireland so that might give some direction in your search. I would try to find out if there are Historical associations in those areas/counties, and contact those with the information you have along with the photo. Those buildings might very well still exist. Also, maybe consider asking on the Historic Military Vehicle Forum. While mostly vehicle-related, most members are from Great Britain and you never know if they might have any information for you. See the 'Reseach Centre'-section of https://hmvf.co.uk/ -

Here's the Pre War Blue Uniform one, a White Strap, White being the Corps Color the regiment was in, the XVIII Corps. We see on the Field Grey one and this White one the Roman Number II, this being for Kaiser Wilhelm II, so the regiment no doubt gets its royal title sometime after 1888, the year he began his reign. -

A couple more shots from that 1947 Trip. First in Northern Waters still, then later into Sunny Climes. In the warm weather one, note the two Royal Marines off in the background at attention, I wonder why they're like that, their escort around the ship???
