A photo from Bill Swan of No 3 Flight in May 1955 with so many familiar faces.
Bill is in the front row 5th from the right with Laurie Stevens, Barry Swyer and Brian Steele. Bill reckons that Malcolm Tanner is behind that group but I reckon that he is to the left of Bill. Sam Sansom is 2nd from the left in the front with Graham Walker to the right.
2nd row Bill Sowells on the left with the two Taff Thomas's, and probably Tex Paice in the 3rd
row 7th from the left. I can't put names to any of the others except Fred Walker at the back centre.
1958 80th Entry Armourers just before passing out in April 1958.
I can remember the names of most of the assembled plumbers, and I would be happy if anyone can
assist me in correcting the names or providing some of the missing ones.
