A fresh faced early '70's A course John says: "A13 July - Sept 1972. I am afraid I never was much good at names and that certainly has not improved with the passing years but here goes... Back row L-R ?, Mike Valentine, ?, ? Middle John Hulse, ?,?,?,?,? Front Paul Cunliffe,?,? John Caulfield,? Peter Appleby (from Peter Neill - Back Left: Terry Tew, Front 2nd from right: Colin Berwick) Very sorry if you are a ? Perhaps somebody out there will recognise themselves."
STO 3? August 1975 Again, hopeless with names…sorry Back ?,?,? Middle ?, John Hulse,?,Jordi Morrell,? Front ?, Barry Cobden,?,?,Steve Cooper-Bagnell (I think) And from David Carter....front row L is Ian Blease (became a VM) , Rob Ellis (went to Thames) is 2 from R, Colin Hazelwood is far R. Behind Colin H is Colin Rix From David Lawson...back row right Norman Steemson And from Barry Cobden - Back row, left: David Roll, now a Sound Supervisor in TV OBs. Middle row, left: Howard Hewish Front row, middle (next to Barry): Peter Davey, now freelance sound and dubbing mixer. Barry says: "The course wasn't, if I recall correctly, an STO course. It was, I believe, a newly (re)named "TO" course, being the Tech Ops version of the course following the 'A' course. The engineers followed the 'A' course with the 'B' course (which subsequently led to the 'C' course!!!) and at that time Tech Ops followed the 'A' course some two years later with a 'TO' course (which would lead eventually to the 'STO' course.) The STO course was boarded, but the TO course was mandatory." ...so now you know.
