Tom Spurs, Derek Breeze and Harold Leppit, all of intake 53B at Maralinga in Australia, early 1960s.

Pictured this year, 2008, Tom Spurs, Derek Breeze and Harold Leppit. Tom says the first picture was taken in 1958 when he was 21 years old, which makes a 50 year gap between photos. In the workshop photo he points out that Derek is sporting stripes so it would have been taken at a later date.
