It would appear that this might be the Reeds Corrugated Cases fishing Trophy. The man on the right is my father, Richard (Dickie) Holland, but who is presenting the trophy?

Why, it's Dr Jacob Bronowski! Just about the time (1973) he was making "The Ascent of Man". He must have thought a lot about Reeds Corrugated Cases to take time off to present this trophy.

I bet Richard Dawkins or Stephen Hawking wouldn't do something like this!

I think Michael's actually attempting the "take the Michael" here.

Ian Vine, works manager.
And if you want to be pedantic, or correct, it's Reed Corrugated Cases.

Nycetry, Nycehorse, but I'm not convinced.

Of course it's Dr Bronowski! See for yourself:

Thanks guys, my dad (Richard) died in Essex Dec 2010, and I am going through an old tin with photos in it, trying to put names to faces
