Some photos form the internet. That's [[dad|dad]] down at the front, probably the only one with his helmet still on! The two guy's on the right are [[Peter Chapman|Peter Chapman]], and [[Peter Birmingham|Peter Birmingham]].

I've seen a number of sources reference these photos as being from the [[Channel Tunnel Uplink Day|uplink day]], but it can't be, the machine in the photo is >7m in diameter and too large to be the service tunnel [[TBM|TBM]].

From doing some research I think the photographer is [[David Giles|David Giles]]
