Names Wanted, circa '60s or '70s1221 viewsNames Wanted, circa '60s or '70s. Suggestions so far:
Top left: Mel Whatmough 2EO, the first head on the left below him looks like Dave Hudleston Eng Cadet. The head above the chap with glasses at extreme right lower maybe Nick Ball Eng Cadet and eventually Cdre Eng. WIth beard in middle to the left of chap with glasses is Derek Holden (certificated 1st Class Eng).

Resource, main switchboard guest list.1191 viewsWhen the junior ranks of the electrical dept went on standby in Resource there was a centre consol with a piece of lino like stuff set into the desk. Over the years bored staff found if you turned over the lino it had been signed by previous electrical staff. We were always getting left in the switchboard as no one would remember to tell us standby was finished...!!!
