London Gliding Club Dunstable, who is this gentleman?

Passed on to me and a rough date would be mid to late 1960’s. Any idea who the man is?

The gentleman in the photo is Cedrick Veron. He was on the BGA test group at the London Gliding Club and a Handley Page stress engineer. He is now 93 living in Dorking.

Best wishes

Addt. info.

The photo has ‘Buster the Bear’ typed on it, top left corner, is this a clue?

Here is a picture of Derek taken in 2000, could be the same, IMHO!

Looks like a young Derek Piggott to me. The top man of British gliding.

Oh to have those days back again; MacMillan said we’d never had it so good, and we had Slingsby, and all was right in the firmament.

Definitely not Graham Hill, but I can see what you mean. 🙂

Looks a bit like the late Graham Hill, but I suppose it’s not
