Thames Cup, H.R.R. 1966. Monty Montgomery,Cox. Stroke, Pat Barry, 7 Lionel Bailey, 6 Brian Gardner, 5 Malcolm Sheppard, 4 Dave White, 3 John Peters, 2 Mike Ealand, Bow, Pat Grace.
Another picture courtesy of Lionel Bailey, who says of the picture "QBC had beaten Scottish Argonauts by ¾ length on the Wednesday and this was our race against Isis on the Thursday.
We had beaten Isis, on a re row after a dead heat, on the way to winning Thames Cup VIII's at Reading 2 weeks earlier.
At Henley they just edged us by ½ a length and went on to race Harvard in the final, only to lose to the Yanks by ¾ length.
Incidentally, this photo featured on travel brochures the world over for years after."
