Something you didn’t see very often, Charlie with a guitar in hand…… could actually be a type of sitar

I always thought McQueens good friend Bud Ekins did the famous motorcycle jump over the fence

To be honest, l can't say whether he did or not.......... a number male stars did their own stunts, Burt Reynolds did them in Deliverance. He said later on in years, that his back was never the same.

On the right is James Coburn, maybe that's Charles Bronson back middle but I dont think so. Definitely no Dickie Attenborough

Coburn and McQueen were great friends and Ferraristi - I have many books and records on their cars - James Garner also. Must have been great fun making the Great Escape and the Magnificent Seven as most of them were mates

Steve McQueen, William Russell (on tv he was in Sir Lancelot and Dr Who), Tom Adams and James Coburn.

As @WBA2_QPR3 says, no Richard Attenborough and no Charles Bronson
