Ray Silvester did graphics from '67 to '72, taking a year out in 1970 to travel to 'India and beyond' on a sabbatical, and has posted these five portraits of students at Corsham, all taken in 1969.
"Unfortunately the only name I remember is Andre Bardega but I am hoping people will see themselves and name them". Thanks to those who have added names.

Andre Bardega

"I actually won a national Kodak competition with my photo of Andre - however when they came to the college (with lots of fanfare) to collect the neg, to my horror - and theirs - it was on Ilford film. Such is life - one of those tragedies. Who knows what path I might have gone down".

Photos from the sabbatical year
driving to India and beyond
with John Headlam.

The B&W photos (bottom right) were all taken in 1970. My final work for BAA was a book and film of the trip. John has the original of the super 8 film and his own photos. These are just a couple of mine apart from me on a camel in Iran that John took.

1 Men in the street in Lahore, Pakistan

2 Ray on a camel in the desert in Iran (we actually got lost coming out of Tehran and found ourselves for a few days on the old caravanserai route)

3 A truck in Kabul, Afghanistan

4 Men on a cart in Kabul

5 Afghan purdah - two women of Kabul
