Why this Gathering?
We said the poeple in this photo all has something in common – apart from being police officers, and asked of you could tell us who is in the group, where and when this photo was taken, and what was the reason for them being together. Phil Taylor, who is featured in the photo, was able to let us know that it's a photo of the Central Parishes team along with their senior officers, and was taken circa 1980 outside the PRC at Prospect.
Phil says, "I believe it was for the sake of having a photo of a 'motley crew' "! He was able to identift everyone with no problem and they are listed below.
