The photo above doesn't have Derrick in it, he joined the crew after OTU.
The page below has taken me about three hours to make and there may yet be one or two mistakes, please feel free to point them out to me, possibly by PM then I can alter them without digressing from the point of this post.

Mel please let me know what you think, I can change things around if you don't like something.
I need a break right now, but maybe later or tomorrow I will work on the other crew members pages because I have photo's of them that I have not added to Derrick's page.
My deepest thanks to both Mel and Keith Burns, who is Sgt Bill Bailey's next door neighbour for everything you have shared with us.
