manxmannau Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 These 2 photo's are of my dad and his friends somewhere in the Isle of Man and im just wondering if anyone can tell me what area they were taken. The top Photo looks like it was taken near sulby. Not sure about where the photos were taken .... Sulby Claddaghs doesn't look quite right somehow, although the cleared pine tree line & the landslide scar on the hill face seem familiar .. perhaps the penny will drop, given time. But from lying down front right could be Sandra Holt, Nippon, Jimmy Creer, Rob White, dunno, Dusty Miller, dunno. Parked outside the Cafe from the right .... Geoff Kenna, Me (Andy "Knocker" Norris) John Teare, sitting on bike to the left of the pole could be Dave Moughtin. And wearing the silver helmet - back to camera would have to be Johnny Daley. Your dad & I were great pals in those days ... we had lots of laughs together Great to keep the wheels turning .. Andy Norris ( Knocker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempus Fugit Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I think this is great that subjects in the photos appear on here after 40-odd years since the picture was taken ! where else would this sort of thing happen ? I love looking at old photos, and I have one which I would love to find where it was taken, I suspect it will be near Bishopscourt but will probably have to go and look at hills and hedges to prove it, I previously posted it in the 'where is it' photo thread but got no suggestions. I don't want to hijack this thread but if anyone recognises the landscape I would love to know where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Agitator Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 yes your right about sulby and Pt ST Mary, Certainly does look like Bob White. If it's the same Bob White that worked for Telecom, i think his wife passed on about 3-4 years ago. You should give Bob a call, i think he still lives in Briarfield Ave, Birch Hill. My brother worked with him at Telecom but Bob has since retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxmannau Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Please could you name these people.Thanks The only one I can pick from those sitting on the Promenade wall -- most likely opposite the old "Rendesvous Cafe" -- is Squeaky Eaton on the extreme left. Not sure who Dusty is photographed with on the bikes. It looks like Dusty's Ducati on the right as they face us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
