Daredevils

I'm sure this trio of masked young men were sailors serving on HMS Illustrious, moored behind them on the River Mersey, carrying out some sort of dare. ('Coz ya know what sailors are.)

They cavorted up & down Liverpool's New Quay for many minutes, regularly hooting, yelping and raising fists in 'salute', mainly in the direction of the ship.

No nastiness at all, btw, just so very obviously 'good clean fun'.

Incidentally, compare their dress sense to the rest of those in the pic and remember that this was a bright but bloomin' bitter-cold, mid-February day on a windswept waterfront.

So, sailors winning a dare and/or a bet? I'm certainly betting that they were.
