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

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