1st photo, I think that would be Berne O’Neil, slinger.
Ed: Thanks for that Pete. I am sure ‘Chippy’ will verify in due course! John B
Hi John! I only vaguely remember this press, as in 1972 I think I was still working up in Hyd 2. I do recognise the people in the last photo though, Bob Phelps at the control desk and Peter Preece kneeling inside the press. I can’t put a name to the person in the first photo, even if I enlarge it I can’t work out who it is at the moment. Chippy Aston.
Hi Chippy! Thanks for identifying two of the people in the photos. You are correct, of course! I expect someone else will be able to identify the person in the first photo, in the fullness of time! John B
