A few old lads there Don, Mick Phillips, Bob Jenkins, Ian Cook, John Barry, Looks like a thin version of Attu, Chris Read, The Big lad on the far right his name escapes me mate, it's that age thing creeping in!
Nice ta see the owd SLR wi the wooden furniture. The weapon of choice these days looks like a toy in comparison.
It's only my opinion having handled both, but I think the SLR was the better weapon!

There must be a lot of old twats on there that I know Don. Oh! if you see Dave Ruddocks up in lights can you let him know that Jude Mackeverne want's to get in touch, he keeps on pestering me!Â
It was Dave that posted the pic, Bob. I've just passed on your message mate.
Cheers Don, give him my regards when you speak to him again, ask him if he knows where Matt Matthewman is these days, he was one of my old canoe partners.
