Ron Wiltshire in 'Model Man' Summer 1961 |
Ron Wiltshire was introduced by Royale as being a paratrooper, but he was a bona-fide body builder with substantial bulk, which can be seen dramatically contrasted with Peter George's lean elegance in 'The Captive'. He went on to become a professional wrestler.
He did several solo sets for Royale and Dolphin/Hussar Studios and appeared in many storyettes, often in a villainous or CP 'punisher' role, wielding cane, cat o'nine tails or whip on different occasions.

Photos of Ron posing in the manner of body-builder competitions, wearing spotted trunks.
Plus a rare 'behind the scenes' picture
showing him with Royale's founder, Basil Clavering.
It's possible these images were part of the seemingly lost 'RON' set (i.e. RON-1)

Ron appears in the rare 'back-stage' image of Basil Clavering himself working with 3 of his models on set (ca1959). You can easily spot him in at the left end of the line-up in spotted trunks. Possibly taken when the Lamprill-Urgay wrestling set was photographed.
