Left to right: Geoff Langley, Gordon Harris, ?, 'Geordie', and Sergeant Walsh (later killed in an Argosy crash).
Identifications by Gordon Harris.
Editor's note: Sgt Walsh was killed when an RAF Argosy XR133 of 267 Sqn crashed at Got el Afraq airstrip, Libya, on 7 May 1968. All occupants on board were killed including 5 aircrew and 6 soldiers (all believed to be from 7 PARA RHA and 216 Para Sig Sqn).
In addition to Sgt Walsh I remember 2 other members of F Bty RHA of 7 Para RHA and they were John Tunnicliff (ex Junior RSM of JLRRA) and Taff Meecham also ex JLRRA.
