I believe 153 to be my dad, George Francis Harris (Geordie Lad) He said he missed 'the big photo' but that's got to be him.

Archie Richard (Roy) Brooks
No 116 is my wonderful father Archie Richard (Roy) Brooks, who sadly died at the age of 86 on 22 June 2008. I miss him so much every day.

William (Billy) Blundell is No 43
My brother and I went up to Benbecula last year to visit the place our Dad called "the most God forsaken hole in the world." We arrived when the sun was going down and it felt like we'd gone back in time, it is a really magical place although I'd imagine when they were training it must have been pretty harsh.
On the way up we stopped off for a night in the Speen Bridge Hotel and discovered this photo on the wall of the dining room.
I took some pictures and stitched them together in Photoshop, it now sits proudly on mine, my brother's and sister's walls. We are all certain that our Dad, William (Billy) Blundell, is number 43.
Although there are no names it fits with all the info that my Dad told us and is corroborated with the info I've found on this site.
