Apprentice Machine Shop

I confess here to falling in love with a 1942 vintage Kearney and Trekker milling machine just in view at the back right of the shop.

Foreground to background - Jim Harrison is with Ian Martindale,  Greg Hatton is being told what to do by  Jack Philips, Neil Forshaw is pretending to read and Phil Haige is doin-a-bit.
