Front row 3rd from right is Paul Newman.

The guy kneeling front row 3rd from right and kneeling second row 5th from right look like they could be brothers to me.

OMG, don't you see Hugo Weaving? You know, Elrond in the Tolkien stuff and Mr. Smith in The Matrix? Is Neo in there?

Thanks for all the feed back and interest. Does anyone know any details about what a staff sergeant in that uniform would have done or area he might have worked in as I've done extensive searches and found nothing other than "ground crew" etc..
I believe my auntie had said my grandfather was based in Tripoli at some point in his career. Again thanks for all the feed back.
I've found out that the USAF had a base in Tripoli called Wheelus and there are badges, but I can't confirm from the picture if any of the badges are present, but my eyes aren't the best so maybe someone might spot something. Wikipedia has good images of the badges.

Maybe he was part of a Matador squadron of the 38th Tactical Missile Wing in Europe that did qual tests at Wheelus (see this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelus_Air_Base ).
