Young gas engineers

GAS engineers of the future were captured for all time in this photograph taken at the college in the Bourne.
The snapshot was sent in by Sonia Rook, of Conqueror Road, St Leonards, after she recognised her husband in a football photograph last year.
Mrs Rook said: "My husband John Rook is fourth from the left and I think the lad next to him, looking at the camera was called Ken.
"I can't remember his surname.
"John was eight and a half years older than me so I would only have been a schoolgirl at the time the photo was taken and hadn't met him yet.
"We married in 1963 and John died on November 30 1994.
"John is the in the dirtiest overalls as usual - he never changed.
"I miss him so much."
