Oriana Beach Group 2
Thanks to Steve Stroud, the guy on the left who looks just like Omar Sharif, for contacting me. We know that’s Andy Jackson being buried and TT’s in the white shorts but Steve tells me the guy just behind Andy’s head is JAG Lewis.

Oriana Leckies after FD Fan Fire
L-R:
That’s definitely John Hammond, possibly Charles Oxley, The hair and mo looks like Steve Musson, possibly Geordie John saluting, don’t know who’s standing o the far right and that’s possibly Blue who’s the only one who obviously wore a mask.
Great shot Mark and it’s good to see the old Swan lager tins. They bring back some memories.

Oriana Cabin Pour Out
Above is TT being his usual chivalrous self carrying a poor defenceless WAP into a pour out. I think that’s Les Diffey bending over getting his arse touched up. At the back with the cheekiest grin you’ve ever seen is Dave Jewkes with Glyn Dodson looking rather chubby cheeked in the middle. Can someone name the WAP please?

I’ve been inundated with people emailing me to tell me that the unknown participant is in fact Gavin Ash no less. Thanks to Dave Jewkes, Dave Whitehand, Ian Settle and Paul Robinson. Thanks also to Jewksie for telling me that’s not Paul Clasby in the middle but Bunny Warren. So here’s the proper line up.
L-R:
Mick Everson, Dave Oakes, Bunny Warren, Gavin Ash, Dave Whitehand.
You just had to be there …. !

Tug of War

Tug of War on board the "O". There’s big Stuart Drew with the ginger hair and beard in the background, Ken Willey (Deceased) at the front and Dave Turner looking on. (thanks to Ian Settle for supplying the names).
Rod Drake recalls;
Just reminiscing through some of these old
photos and I remember the tug of war quite well. I think DT was beaming due to his engineers being supremely victorious, the line-up as I remember was Ken
Willey, Jim Barlow, Stuart Drew, myself in Groucho glasses and Jeff Talbot as
anchor. I think Jeff had the nickname 'V' body.

Here’s the Deck against the Ginger Beers – Stuart Drew and Sheep Dip involved plus others Mike can’t recall - (Dave Turner coaching!)

Mike Fatchen willing his deck cadets on against a crew team.
Great stuff … thanks Mike.

Now this is the only explanation I got from Blackfoot "The group photo of the Oriana Electricians is a good one for those who remember Big Llewy, Martin Harris and I think the unknown is Jim ????. maybe Connors. Good luck with the rest". But, the best I can do is;
L-R:
Charles
Oxley, Desmond John
Hughes (aka Big Llewy), Gavin Ash,
Martin Harris, Tom Douther, Pete Connors (aka
Jim Pete), Dave Whitehand, Roy Arnold, Bob Chambers.
Additional names have been supplied by Dave Oakes and Charlie Oxley. Thank you gentlemen.
Mark Sawyer adds;
It's
John Hughes not Desmond Hughes, I sailed with him on the Arcadia in 76 with Stevie Musson. Me, him, Stevie and Ken all flew out to join here in Sydney, TB was the 2/El/O and I think it was a Jim O'Conner who was the 1/El/O....mad days.

Island Night 2

Blackfoot's done it again and only named the very back row;
L-R:
Jim Powel (Jungle Jim), Dave Whitehand (Blackfoot), Mick Everson (Slav)
There's too many unknowns for me although I do see;
Glyn Dodson, Chris Freeman, Bunny Warren, Rosemary Walker (Deceased), Super Mac and John Thow.
Andrew Ball advises that the guy kneeling and drinking on the left is Keith Newman (Deck Cadet).

Hong Kong Dinner Out

Andy writes;
Sometimes you can't choose who you get to go on a run ashore with, here I am well and truly lumbered! I bet you're feeling sorry for me already.
L-R
?? (WAP), Wendy ? (WAP), Yours truly (3/E/O by then I think), Angie "The Ophthalmic Angel" ? (Nursing Sister)
Courtesy of Andy Ball
The meal was in a Japanese Restaurant where for the same price you can elect to sit in a special booth and watch the chef cook your meal in front of you.
L-R
Angie ? "The Ophthalmic Angel" (Nursing sister, she usually wore quite large glasses hence the nickname, just realised she wasn't in the photos so the nickname doesn't make a lot of sense), ?? "Clyde" and Andy Ball (Lightning)
