Bill Ballard

Collection of Photos from 'Bendy' Bill Ballard

Bill Ballard who joined the Squadron in 1974 has sent in a small collection of photographs taken at Napier Barracks and on the Black Watch marches held in Hoogeveen Holland. Can you help identify anyone one? There are a few more photos in the Members area

Can you help put names to these faces

The photo with three sitting on the bench is of the marching team with Chris Pavey sporting the moustache to the right of the picture. Sorry, can't recall the names of other two.


Who is wearing the dark glasses?

On the left of this photo is John Tait but who is wearing the dark glasses?



Who's who?

Those seated are ??? Kelly, Paddy Sloan, Ivor Reece and on the other seat Alf Thornley ?


Anyone recognise the barracks in this photo?

In this photo the flag is being jealously guarded by Ivor Reece.


Who are the Groupes in the car tailing behind?

Whilst the person in the other shot out the back of the "transport" is I believe Alf Thornley?


X Troop accomodation perhaps? What is the building on the left of the picture?

This photo was taken from one block of the next one to it. I don't know the owner of the car, but it was parked just to the rear of the armoury block. The windows being cleaned were immediately adjacent to the famous "horse in the block" stairwell. X Troop Acommodation perhaps?


Can you name them?

This group photo which I believe was taken at one of the open days, I can try to identify a few faces but please bear with me on that one. Far right is Sgt. Gavin Escott next is Taff Wade next is Dougie (may have been Atter). Next to Dougie is the famous Scotsman Billy McKinley, due to his size I think the next one is Jack Leather, (strongly suspect error here) but not sure. I do recognise the faces of the next 2 but not the names at present. Then comes self Bill Ballard in beret, I believe the next one is Colin Ingledew with another D11 Queen (as I myself is). The fellow on the left do know by face but not name,
