I realise that Darell Farlow was the Tenor Sax nearest the Camera.
Possibly the Clarinet was Jimmy Morrow.
My instrument was a Conn Cornet/Trumpet with a vibration tuner. Darell's Sax case was wooden like a small coffin. He carried his Sax while we carried the case full of rabbits aboard that night, hence the picture in the Mess the following day.
