Is the camera settings correct, as the extra information says that the photo was taken on the 13th November?

The time is correct according to the clock in the photo.

It's 54 years sice I was in Wendover

Yes, about 15.30 on Sunday 13 November 2005. The road was empty as the police had closed it for the Rememberance day parade. Wendover high street hasn't changed much to look at since you left. I've posted some other pictures (of Wendover) but if you want I can take some for you.

Thanks for the offer Ed but after 54 years things and places don't look the same or at least as I remember them. The biggest thing I remember is marching up and down from Halton Camp, where I was an apprentice, to catch a train to London to go on leave. One picture I would like to see is the "Rising Sun" pub (I'm sure that was it's name) on the right hand side about half way down from the camp. Special memories. All the best from Australia.

The pub is the Rose & Crown and Ive added a picture of it to my collection. Its changed a bit since your time, as has the road from Halton. Ive also taken a picture from Main Point looking towards the workshops. New Admin building in foreground, not shown is Chestnut Ave to the right. These days its a bit risky taking pictures around military camps. The old Hostpital is about to be pulled down for houses. I just started at Halton school (opposite the gaurdroom) when you left Wendover. Regards Ed
