    The pictures just came from some books and magazine that I need to put in storage!

    As for the quiz, well done. It is not Minter with Conteh or Thom with Randy. But you got everything else British right.

    Well done with Gains; the bloke fighting Kane is actually Baltazar Sangchilli (of Spain) from 1939.

    And surprise, surprise, someone gets what I thought was the hardest, straight off! Excellent job getting Tarleton; I was hoping that was going to escape everyone, at least for a few days, not minutes!

    You do know that mug, but it is not Swift or Hall. You got Chris right; and here is a mug you definitely know:

    Albert Finch - if I'm wrong then I'm going to Turpin's record to see if a name connects to the face. But it's got be Finch (?).
