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 !!

That man on the plow was Des Sinclair, who was a 56A Wakefield man.
He would have moved from Wakefield Shed upto the Mill in 1963.
Des also was a DMU driver, and did rest day relief at Huddersfield.
He got 3 hours travelling time plus bus fares.
The HF drivers did not like that , but ASLEF at this point did not work RD's.
Des passed away a few years ago, after taking the money in 1994.
