Who are these guys?.

Linton-on-Ouse 1976.

I'm the one drinking from a certain coveted cup.

I'm sure many of you will recognise the Flight Lieutenant behind my right elbow.........

The guy on the far right looks like a very young version of an old Sixty Sqn boss of mine of the Wessex era. D*** F*****

Below your right elbow - Brian Burridge?

Is that David Thomas on the left with a drink? How about Brian Casey on right with glass?

Third from the right looks like Garth Bennett, but I'm sure he was on Hercs at that time?

Is this a QFI pass out or something?

Weeeeyyyyyyyy Guys.

You are all so very kind and have better memories than I.

Please please PM with whom you all are!

No. It's celebrating the award of the Wright Jubilee Aerobatic Trophy.

Third from the right looks like Garth Bennett, but I'm sure he was on Hercs at that time?
'tis after all. Thanks mate.

Linton
G'Day Duk!
Wright Jubilee Trophy! Well done Sir!
Names pretty well all correct. Badger was a little slimmer then (as were we all, pre Sam Smith) Badger was with me when we had a double inverter fire going into Warton. BAe gave us a new jet!
Russ Morley: "We need more good instructors, not more good blokes!"
Garth had a flame-out taking off from Church Fenton (RLG) and performed a magnificent turnback, with a strong landing tailwind and no barrier!
All in all, a great bunch of QFIs!

Russ Morley, Chas Gilchrist, Eddie Danks and Brian Burrage are cert idents. I bow to the other opinion that the one on the right front is not Mike Marsden. Not sure about the id of Dick Shuster though. I was on the same CFS course as Dick but unfortunately cannot access the course photo as it's packed away for impending house move.
