Hello Fred the picture you have is not the full intake of 1972 but I think it’s a picture of the group going to the outward bounds at Ingleby Greenhow run by ICI. I know a few names on the pic.

The picture will probably be of one or two trades taken together. I was intake of 1974 and our similar picture was taken with instrument artificers and fitters together.
