Philip Amos who is first on the right, has identified Brynley Allen as second from the left, and Christopher Arnell as third from the left.  Philip is not sure but thinks that the lad who is first left could be Frances Flynn.

Thanks to Stuart McArthur for these scans, he said "Whilst trying to find some photos, I came across a sheet of paper where most of the more senior boys had written their names and "nick-names" etc."  Stuart's other photos can be seen here
