Jim Davis was the Inspector at Thornbury in the 1960’s when my father Sargent Denis Cason was working for him. He was a man with real authority and a good friend of my fathers.
I can’t comment on the year, but it’s Sgt Claude (Jim) Davis all right. Jim would have been 100 this year. Perhaps 40yrs ago he told me he was Sgt at Fairford during the ‘big freeze’ winter of 1962/3, and I know by the late 1960s he was a Chief Inspector at Kingswood. My guess, and it’s only a guess, is that he was about 40 when the picture taken in what is clearly a much older building than Holland House.

Before 1964 without a doubt.
