Need help to identify the two NCO's in this 1970's picture please. Note the Chipmunks have the old orange dayglow. Sorry about the quality.

The corporal on the left was from Admin Wing "Hazzie" MacNamara from Edenderry and the Corporal on the left was Frank Ryan who became a mormon after he got the hair cut. This was taken just before I went up camp.

The Chipmunk to have the more reddy version of the dayglo was C200, which tragically crashed in Gormonston around 1977 killing pilot and John Monagahan, one of my Seniors.

Thanks CH for that. I have listed the date of the Chipmunk No.200 crash as 24 April 1980. Do you mean that Frank Ryan is the person on the Right?
Thanks again.

Yeah sorry about that it was a typo. Frank Ryan is on the right.

Wasn't sure on the date of C200 crash but knew it was after the Marchetti's came.
