Sid Garrioch is the missing name he is on the front row extreme right. I actually took this picture as Dougie used to give me his camera to get teams in the country as he didn't drive, I took a few for him in the 60's

I used to see Sid when he used to visit here on holiday in Summer. He worked for BBC on remote radio station boosters in the Highlands.

Syd still lives near Gairloch where he worked on the BBC transmitter maintenance team. This weekend (26/4/15) is the 50th anniversary of the BBC's first TV transmitter for the Western Isles (and was the last 405-line transmitter when Syd turned it off 20 years later!). He features in a Two Lochs Radio programme next Wednesday evening and repeated Sunday evening, telling tales of his life working for the BBC in the Highlands & Islands.
