That young chap in the first photo is from 1968, bit of an attitude going on there!
Man driving the Titan is probably a Wolseley sales manager, from 1966.
Chap with the Tarpen Chain saw has a Polo neck he’s from April 1962
Finally the saw bench operator looks like a customer trying out the saw bench from 1960…

Is the chap on the circular saw wearing a tie? what a h&s
issue that would make today. Great to see the style of clothes that
we were wearing in my youth. Might be a new idea for the club working
weekend at Weeley, A V H G M C fashion parade. Mmm food for thought.
