Many thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunky 6,091 Posted April 6, 2012 Doesn't look like you've had much help yet, Tony! I have ideas about a couple of them, but I'll have to go through my scrapbooks first. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunky 6,091 Posted April 6, 2012 Okay... 1a - Appears to be Jack Young. 2a - Gerry Hussey in full flight. 8a - Not 100%, but could be Stan Stevens. 11a - Wally Green leading, with Briggo in Y/B. Not sure of the others. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure of the others. Steve 8a I thought it was Stevens or it looked like Norman Straughn but checked Norman didnt ride at all for Ham. I have a very similar picture in the 60s of Norman in action for Poole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Custom House Kid 45 Posted April 6, 2012 7a I believe is Reg Luckhurst Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunky 6,091 Posted April 6, 2012 7a I believe is Reg Luckhurst One of the reasons I don't think it is Reg, is that those white jackets were used while Reg was at Plough Lane. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Custom House Kid 45 Posted April 6, 2012 One of the reasons I don't think it is Reg, is that those white jackets were used while Reg was at Plough Lane. Steve Agreed but did he come in as a Guest? I have a copy of this photo and have asked qustions but can only come up with Reg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yesterdaysman 9 Posted April 7, 2012 My shot at 5a : I reckon it's 1954 and from L to R is Gerry Hussey, Jack Young, Pat Clarke, Brian Crutcher and Leif "Basse" Hveem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyMac 720 Posted April 7, 2012 Agreed but did he come in as a Guest? I have a copy of this photo and have asked qustions but can only come up with Reg. Pretty sure it's not Reg Luckhurst. Those day-glo jackets were worn by the WH riders in 1966, so could it be Ray Wickett? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Custom House Kid 45 Posted April 8, 2012 Don Smith? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunky 6,091 Posted April 8, 2012 Don Smith? That was my first thought, even though I don't think I would recognise him. Hey, you're the "Custom House Kid" - you're supposed to be the expert!!! Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOBBATH 466 Posted April 8, 2012 I don't think its Don Smith-I am stumped, 8a I would say is Stan Stevens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadster 221 Posted April 8, 2012 With regard to photo 10a, are the West Ham riders Tony Clarke and George Barclay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
