    There is an MP stood to the right of the picture and to be honest the whole team look like they are out of dress apart from him. Check out the shoes (not boots). i gave the guy in the shirt an excuse that he was wearing a rag over is work dress to stop him getting covered in oil. Problem is one is wearing Italian designer shoes and the other is wearing deck shoes. What a rabble, Hula shirts all round - apart from the guy in stripes.

    But you never know. I spent a few trips over to NASA in the 1970's when the Air force was buying similar computer systems from the same supplier NASA was using.

    The NASA manager at Moffett Field in California told me about one janitor that had an interest in lighting systems. He had ask to, and was given the job of, building a lighting system for the flight systems which simulated the night time run way lighting displays for the flight simulators.

    The 4 guys in that picture could actually be the guys who designed and built that plane for NASA. NASA wasn't real big on uniforms if you weren't an Astronaut.
