Just stumbled across this, which must have been from around 1976/7... I'm standing in the middle row, far right (with both the curly perm and the girl!!!). Still good mates with a couple of the guys in the photo, who I've known since I was five - in fact there's about a dozen of us from school who meet up two or three times a year.
Come on then, let's see yours...
1969 on Bruton Station and on the train travelling back to Frome.
I would have been 16 at the time and wearing my dad's old 1950s herringbone coat.
I went to Sexeys School on Lusty Hill.

About 30yrs ago, just not in uniform.
God knows why my hair grew out into a mushroom shape, if I pulled it straight, it was down to my chin!

I'll have to have a rake around in the loft 😁
This one off my University of Minnesota ID card is probably from 1969, following my stint in the Marine Corps. (Yeah, I know it looks more like a mug shot!)
Not school but Air Cadets. In front of a Sedbergh T21 at RAF Cosford circa 74/75. Third from right, standing, hand nonchalantly in pocket.
This is 1990 I think. I don't have the full class ones here but in secondary school they replaced class photos with year photos. Quite hard to spot me in the crowd of 200 from those days.
Part of school photo from May 1957, I’m on the bottom row sat down, the guy circled at the back is a certain Mr. J Lennon

I’ve just realised that not one of of my old schools have survived into the 21st century! Probably says something...
This is Mrs Rankin’s class, Ambleside First School in 1969. The handsome 6yr old 2nd row from the back, 3rd in from the right is yours truly.
I can still name 24 of those kids but ask me what I did yesterday and I’m clueless.

Some proper old gits on this forum.
Not a school pic, but at a school... this one at 18 yrs old was when I was at North Yorks. Police Training school, Newby Whiske. I'm second right middle row.
Motley bunch! The drill sergeant was a brutal ex RM!!...soon knocked us into shape.
1980, RAF Locking(?), third from right, looking miserable....
That Spit in the background has an interesting history.

Front row, Farthest right, I was a full back and loved rugby, Played in the school team right through, Hated Footy but loved Athletics!, Strangely I lost all interests in sorts as soon as I left school!
Was 13 or 14 in the pic..

I see some b/w photos. Good tool for colourising them, https://colourise.sg/. I applied it to FIL's wedding photo - it must be good as he started crying!
Strange that one photo colourised predominantly blue/grey the other red/brown.
For those having a problem with colourising, I used Skanlite app on Kubuntu, selecting True Gray and 1200DPI. Look for True Gray (or even True Grey) in your scanning app.
A day in the life of a sixth former!
The watch was a Paul Jobin 17 jewel bought in Switzerland as I underspent in Italy!
A motley bunch.
I'm middle row, third from right.
