(There are TWO other miscreants missing from this photo - Paddy Mcnee and another Paddy Mc-something-or-other , the youngest of the group ,who left mainly because he couldn't  afford to stay at PK. (at thirty bob a week - no surprise!!) If either of you guys somehow land on this page - Please get in touch!Well one has - John "dont call me Paddy anymore as I work in the construction game now" McNee. Tells me the other Paddy was a McDermott.

John also remembers one other guy I forgot - Elliard Erasmo Maro. Joined our Group sometime after BTL; possibly came from Nigeria, or SL.  Seem to recollect half way through "Electronics 1", Mr Maro asked Ken Stuart if he could go to the toilet, promptly left the room and was never seen again. Believe he was last seen heading in the direction  of  Penzance and all stations east!!
