A few more familiar faces can you name who?

A few more familiar faces can you name who they are, when and where?

[soprano54]

There quite obviously all taken in Cyprus, but I think at different times! The first one from C Sqn's tour when the Regt was stationed there in the late 60's. The last two possibly from when C Sqn went again in 78. Tanky features in all three, Stallyman in the last two and I think it's 'Scouse' LIoyd on the RHS in the second pic. As for locations in Cyprus I reckon the first was taken in Zyyi, the second in Limassol and the last one in Akrotiri! Of course I could also be talking absolute bollox!!! ;D

neary there soprano i will leave it for now see if any one else as any ideas sorry im in most of the pics i dont know why i was always having my pic taken but hey they make good memories.

Hey soprano, you may be right about the second two, being the tour in 79, but I dont recall the first one, it doesn't look like Zyyi, and I dont recall any of us having to wear puttees & black belts at any time!! It could have been in Nicosia, we had one or two on indiviidual postigs up there during the time we were in Zyyi, "Prof" Jones being one of them. I dont even recall the Landrover guy as one of my drivers!! I could be wrong!!!
I dont recall the Regiment being being in Cyprus in the 60s either! just C Sqn.
A or B were in Sharger ( excuse spelling if wrong) at the same time, whichever Sqn that was the other followed & Jack Morton(Rip) who went with the first SQN volllenteerd to stay on with the second SQN .

Could the Landrover driver be young Colin Dane by any chance? if so then it must be Zyyi in the 60s, If so then I was wrong in my post, above, about who/where. But I can't, for the life of me , remember why he's wearing that get-up!!! And black buttons on a KD jacket?

I still reckon it's Tanky!

Cobra, You were in Cyprus with C Sqn 1968/69. If that first picture was not in that period then it could be a one off from a previous year. The UN were established there I believe in 1964.

would it have been when tanky was with 5 RTR ?

[cobra19]

You may be right if tanky was in 5RTR. C Sqn were the first 3RTR Sqn to go to Zyyi in 68/69 AFAIR.
