Honeysuckle Team Photos 13th October 1976

 

John Saxon writes:

“They were taken by Hamish Lindsay in October 1976 to celebrate the Viking missions to Mars. Later the team size went to 3 people!

There is a faint possibility that the Maintenance Team may be from a slightly different era.”

These are updated scans of Hamish’s 4x5 inch negatives, with the exception of the Maintenance Team photo which is a scan of an 8X10 inch print. (The older scans can be found here.)
