    Love the hair on some of the boys, a few of them have a lot less of it now. Aye, those were the days.

    If I recall correctly the photo was a just after we took part in the News of the world Shooting competition, I think we won it I know we did really well, also the cup in Front of Tommy was when he won Best dressed Highlander, at the Annual camp in Leek which was 1993, I can recall we were billeted with the Cadets from Auldearn and on that day everyone pulled together to make sure every single piece of Tommy's kit was perfect. I think that every cadet of that period had a lot to thank Billy Snr and George Innes for

    Davi/Tony thats the guy I can't place. Found out that 1st youngster in middle is Bertie Palmer. David I take it you meant 1973 and not 1993 ? I havent seen ronald mackay or davie connachan in years which is a shame as we grew up together in Barbour Road.
