Island Lagoon Minitrack Control Room. Les Whaley is on the left. Keith Aldworth adds: “Next to him, seated and in white shirt, is Ken Woods and I think next to him, in check shirt, may be Henry Gilkins. The chap on the right is not familiar to me. The photo would have been taken before I arrived at the beginning of 1965.” Photo: Jan Delgado. |
