A VERITABLE mixed bag or lucky dip of images from the 1980s grace this week’s Photographic Memory.

We’ve gone back to 1988 for a bit of funday and carnival fun - and then further back to 1982 to day when the RAF visited Teignmouth.

Lord Exmouth takes to the crease at Abbotskerswell’s cricket ground in July 1988 during a Torbay Sea Cadets fun day . The ladies teams, who played later, admire his Lordship’s batting prowess.
