Identification of person in photo please

[Pelican]

Can anyone help me identify the man in this photo please. I am sure he is a British TV personality, I know his face but cannot put a name to him. I am pretty certain the person has passed away. Photo date is probably 1965/70. The photo has a connection for a late member of the family. My thanks.

It looks to me, as you said he was likely a celebrity, to be Dave Suich.
He plays in The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.

That would make the photo more recent though, or unless he's aged really well. Either way he's absolutely amazing on the ukulele.

Thank you. I had a good look, Trystan, but he is too late as you say. This photo was taken in the 1960’s. He was more or less middle aged then.

As you say he is quite a musician.

Was his dad a celebrity?

Has he got a leather apron on there in the picture, or perhaps fishing waders?

I wonder if he's trout or salmon fishing, possibly he has a landing net on the lanyard around his neck.

I don't think it's David Suich - all the pictures of him show a cleft in his chin. And he's not holding a ukulele.

Thanks for trying to help.

He had been fishing for trout in the River Test that day and the photo was probably taken afterwards by again probably a fellow trout fisherman.

The River Test fishing was by invitation of the owner of that stretch of the river. Usually well off folk or well known.

could it be Donald Campbell

The neck string was possibly for his wading staff!
