That bloke with the 'tache in the middle, I'm sure I've seen him in a german porno film.

Possibly, although it would have been a Dutch one. He didn't make it through the course. Last I heard he was working on the oil rigs

Lon, the location in the photo looks suspiciously like the (long closed and demolished) Cockpit Inn- Was it?

Maxbert (quaffed quite a few there 20-odd years ago )

Maxbert As far as I can remember it was Pub 13, above the Wimpy Bar on the corner of Ave. de al Liberté and Rue Jean Origer. Probably long gone now.
Another haunt was Pub on the Top on Place d'Armes.
I don't think the Cockpit opened until later. A marvellous collection of aviation photos and artifacts. I didn't know it had closed though.
Normally ended up eating scampi in Grund and then in the Pygmalion the last courses I was on
