Cutting AXV, 1979: that ditch

This 1979 compilation of Phillpotts photographs has a slightly "morning after the night before" feel to it doubtless caused by the out of focus photography. Many of the usual suspects here and there including Pete, John Parry, Mike Taylor, Dick Potts, Zoya Spivakowska, Mark Spivakowski, Training, Rachel, Dmitri, Elsa Charlot, Julian Parker and Mandy Hatherly.

1979: the strain starts to show

Another collage from Dr Phillpotts's 1979 photographs: F3351 was clearly beginning to take its toll as you can tell from the look on my face as I come back down towards it with a wheelbarrow. Dr Cleal looks as though she's just been knocked out. On the right-hand side of the collage Matthew Wilkinson looks a bit cheerier, whilst at the bottom Randall Motkin chases a frisbee. At the top in the middle Marian Barter scratches her head with Matthew Garner and Dave nearby. At the bottom in the middle many people slave away in the bottom of the Iron Age ditch on cutting AXV, including Mike Taylor, Training, Gill, Pete, Zoya Spivakowska, Elsa Charlot, Mandy Hatherly and me.
