Oriana Engineers 1975

click on photo to enlarge

L-R Back:      

Paul Robinson, Mick Everson, Charles Oxley, Steve Borrill, Steve Musson, Brian Richardson, Dave Grant.

Mid:       

Nick Williams, Paul Dixon, Mark Sawyer, Andy Jackson, Mike Jack, Alan Conlin, Pete Woods, Les Diffey, Geoff Heap, John Atkinson, Bill Wilson, Paul Clasby, John Speed, Harry Adamson, Dave Jewkes, Barry Dover, Lou Johnson.

Sat:         

Mick Golding, Super Mac, Tom Douther, John Russell, Mike Ramsey, Dave Whitehand, Tony Mazonowicz, Bob Stuart, Glyn Dodson, Ken Worsfold, John Thow, John Hammond. Chris Freeman.

 

Archie Anderson thought the last remaining unnamed person in the above group (between TT & Les) was Roddy McConnell but that’s been challenged by Marty Elliot who claims that Roddy was and still is in the 20 stone bracket!

 

The best shot he can see of Roddy is Oriana Engineers 1978 just above John Thow, you will see the difference in size.

 

We have to name this guy … I’m sure I’ll know it when I hear it. 

 

Finally, thanks to Andy Ball, we have the name of the unnamed guy ... and I knew I'd know it when I heard it ... Pete Woods!

Oriana Crossing the Line Ceremony ’75

click on photo to enlarge

There’s only one person I can 100% identify and that’s Geordie John Atkinson smack in the middle next to the guy pouring the slime who may be Super Mac.

 

Dave Whitehand recalls; ‘If you look carefully I think you’ll see that blue helmet right side is Mark Sawyer. Left hand side blue helmet I think is Arnie. The person on the table is of course Mr Oakes. How do I know? Well Dave only had 1 pair of trunks and he didn’t want to get them dirty so he put mine on. Of course the fact that I now had a pair of dirty shorts was never considered. In fact I think at the time I thought it was a good idea.’

Unfortunately I have to own up to be the one caught in drag in the above shot. Please don’t ask. Behind me in agony is Paul Robinson (Blue) then Nice John from Windsor, John Hammond and Geoff Heap (Groucho) with his leg around Geordie John Atkinson.
