Hi I remember the people in the photo from my time at Prouts. The chap in the middle - Dave Bown - was a brilliant carver and carved gooses heads on the tillers of the original snow goose catamaran.
One day I accidentally dropped a one gallon tin of varnish on his head from the overhead store and knocked him out. I was dead scared but when he came round he was very forgiving.
A small point, I believe Robin refers to Mike Brown as the carver, who also made some very detailed models of the catamarans as seen in another added photo of him with a model of the Quasar shows.
