I was there, Tony! So was Paul Weller, IIRC, and so was some pillock with a private plane flying above toting a "CND GO HOME" banner. Happy days.

Yeah, happy days!

That's funny - because it wasn't CCND - it was APF - that's unless Polohilo has mixed up two events - but the top one here and the first one of all are definitely APF's may ceremony

The more that I think about it, the more i feel sure that the plane flew over a much larger CND event, not the May ceremony -

I'm in the third one down - actually visible this time

So odd to see these long-gone friends in photos I haven't seen before - that makes three in two separate photographs, , if it's Gordon Wilson in the foreground - I'm fairly sure that it is
Just spotted Clive Barratt - he's still with us

My sons are in the foreground of the first picture. They are now aged 31 and 29.

So which one is you?

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

These were all taken on the same day. I was only at Molesworth on one occasion.

So the pilot was even more of a pillock, if the plane was there that day too, as it wasn't CND that day

Um - it's not exactly flattering - thinking about it

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Ok, I won't push...

Thanks - I've just blown it up with Paint - hope you don't mind me copying it - and now I'm not sure. For one thing, I'm really muddled about what I wore in which year - there's another picture in which someone is wearing a mac that looks exactly like one i used to own.
It's the fact that Clive Barrett is close by that makes me think that it's me in this one - but surely I wore that coat the following year? Hmm.
May I save two of these to my hard disc, where I'm certain of an identity?

Feel free to copy the pictures, save them- whatever. I'm just happy they've stirred some memories. :)

Thank you!
