File talk:609 Frank Hansen and Svein Thøgersen.jpg

Identification of subjects

The source (http://digitaltmuseum.no/011014287644) says that the photo is of Frank Hansen and Svein Thøgersen, not Alf and Frank Hansen. The photo should presumably be renamed? --David Biddulph (talk) 13:18, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

I have reminded myself that Frank did race in the double with Svein in 1971 & 1972. The photo is labelled as being from 1971, and that year Alf was in the coxed four. He didn't double internationally with his brother until 1974. --David Biddulph (talk) 13:24, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

The description on the source page has been changed since I uploaded the photograph. I still think this is Alf and Frank Hansen. It's not taken from an international race, but at their local roing stadium in Norway. There are several contemporary pictures of the brothers on the web, and I think the resemblance is rather striking. I haven't found any photos of Svein Thøgersen, though. - 4ing (talk) 13:34, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Ok, it is now clear that the man in front is Frank Hansen (not his brother Alf). I'm more uncertain about the other guy. Here's a picture of Svein Thøgersen (right), also showing Frank Hansen (farthest off). - 4ing (talk) 13:58, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
