I found my copy of the course photograph, which I can&#8217;t remember appearing on the Tech Ops History website. It is stamped on the back by Abbey Studios, Evesham and the date 4\/9\/64. Sadly, there is no list of names and I can only name three course members with any certainty. John Smith is seated at the extreme right of the front row, I am eighth from the left of the middle row and Mike Manning, who later became a Lighting Director, is next to me, seventh from the left.
