I remember the bloke on the right as being an obnoxious Aussie who was a little too big for his boots and I believe he eventually went back to Aussie having p@ssed off all and sundry 
after a tour on 33 Sqn. His name was Wright but I cannot remember his christian name. The others may have become 230 Sqn chaps

I've seen that photo before but can someone remind me where it might have been? Is it from 240 OCU's linebook?

There was the one Aussie ( who was ginger headed IIRC) It is him you have ID'd ( Ex UH-1 inc Vietnam etc .etc.........
)
The two guys on the other end of the bench were also with this particular Puma.

I hope your Reunion went well,
If anybody would care to copy the shot and circulate it amongst the geriatrics I would welcome any response via PM, especially confirmation of the second guy in from the left.
Kind Regards and thanks for the memories HeliDet.
Just who was that @hole in the middle?

I think the chap on the left is the late Chas Chubb, RAF.
Chas perished in an Aussie Chinook vs. wires accident; whilst on an exchange tour. In the late 70s IIRC.

This is'nt going to help a lot, but;
I dont recognise any of these guys from the Puma.
Is the guy on the right Dave Morgan? (Wessex, timings about right).
Dont remember Chas Chubb as being Puma. (Wessex/Chin)
Certainly seen the guy 2nd right before! Name?
As I said, I havent helped at all, typical crewman, just confused the issue!!

Got the piccy now. You sure it's '75 as I was on 230 then and don't recognise anyone (except the guy on the right who looks very much like Ewan A - but he was later, around '77)

Lsh,
CC wasn't Puma qualified, IIRC, so you're not as confused as you might think.
So it's still one bark for yes! By sheer fluke, just taken someone else to casualty with something in her eye.
I think the photo is of an OCU Wessex course because they all needed a haircut and a decent tie, no taste whatsoever.
I don't think it's Dave Morgan, btw.
