A little street in Singapore; I'm in the top left (Andrew "Taff" Thomas"), putting a beer-bottle to my mouth. In front of me, in the black jacket is (Cook) (Mick?) Darch. To the right (kneeling, holding a bottle, in the blue tee-shirt) is (LSA) "Mac" MacIntosh. Behind him (with his head on his shoulder, sticking out his tongue), is LSTD Mick Braid. In the top right - I can't remember his name, but I think he was a steward, and may originally have been of South African origin? In the bottom right is LWTR Mick Johnston.
