Photo taken during a press visit. According to Brian Johnson, the guy on far left is an electrician, however he cannot recall his name. Speaking of Brian Johnson, he is in fact in this pic - the guy second on left is him. On far right behind camera is Jimmy Elliott. Standing behind him is Michael Wilson.
From L - R (on ground level below planks, on which Peter Wragg is standing): Derek Meddings, Harry Oakes, Garry Coxall. In case you're wondering what that shiny thing is around Coxall's head, it's a light.

Meddings is the guy closest to camera. Shaun Whittacker-Cook is the person in background admiring the work of Meddings and the SFX Tech(?) / Modelmaker(?) next to him.
