774 Sqn Fleet Air Arm, probably at HMS Vulture

I believe this photo was taken at HMS Vulture, St Merryn, Cornwall. At least I recognise my late father, 563828 Flt Sgt Langsdale, who was attached to the FAA throughout WW2. He is 5th from the left in the second (seated) row. The aircraft must be a Swordfish.
Written on the back is the only text I have written by my late mother, who died of tuberculosis when I was very young, about 10 years after this picture was taken. It says "Hubbie 774 Squadron 1942". She was herself a Wren.
Comments on this photograph would be greatly appreciated. I can provide a very high resolution copy to anyone who may be on the picture or has a relative on it.
