This
one is of five ex Royal Marines Bandsmen who came to Australia and
joined RAAF Central Band. There were others at various times but this
lot were all present together in late 1960's. Photo taken at RAAF
Base Laverton, Victoria, Australia.
They are left to right,
Bill Woolston, Percussion who returned to UK and I believe still resides
there somewhere.
Ron Champion, Trombone - Deceased.
George Manktelow - Trumpet/Cornet. Now in his middle nineties and
still living Victoria, Australia [he actually played at King George
V's funeral, yes I said V]
Gerry Riley, Clarinet - still living Victoria I believe.
Eric Hayward - Bassoon, Bass Drum and Drum Major, living Bendigo,
Victoria, Aust.
That's your lot for now. Hope you can accomodate.
Regards
Eric
