Hm181 - Yes the Man in question is Brian Easter ! He was The Class Instructor in September 79 when I started as a Traction Trainee. A wonderful Gent
He "came out of Retirement" to work for the National Power Rail Business that I helped to set up.
To have Brian in a Classroom at Nat Power was great because of the wealth of knowledge that he could cascade to the Trainees who were mostly from Power Station backgrounds.
I can`t recognise the guy in the wooly hat tho !!
