  • I think it’s Richard Petty with his back to back to us and Joe Walsh facing him and I cannot be 100% certain but I think the other looks like Bob Baron.

  • Not too sure, but the other one could be Joe Walsh, he was leading fireman at that time.

  • No problem mate there should be a bit of a write up with it but from memory the fireman on the floor is Jeff Peacock who suffered a broken leg at this job, luckily he recovered and carried on with Blue Watch Blackburn until he retired
