The young chap 5 in from the left (with the slightly rakish mustache) is Bomber Brooks - really nice guy. A fighter controller with Butcher Radar at the time. IIRC, he got his soubriquet when he turned up at Neatishead in 1988 as a Plt Off and left his briefcase un-attended and un-marked in the car park. I believe the RAFP 'disposed of it' as if it was an IED.
Not sure what a first tourist Plt Off needed with a briefcase.
We both celebrated Xmas in Belize - not very festive in 90 deg heat.
