Help Please restoring this photo of Jimmy Tait
« on: Wednesday 18 January 23 17:05 GMT (UK) »
I am hoping that some of you talented restorers can do something with this photo please.

It was taken around 1953 in Egypt and is the only one I have of my late husband as a young man. He was in the Army Catering Corps doing his National Service at the time. Sadly, he passed away in 1988 aged 54.

Thank you all,

Brilliant work McGroger. Thank you.

I had to crop it slightly to post the photo here but am not very good at this kind of thing.
