There is another re-account of the trip in the April 1974 Veteris magazine, such as Wal Sheppard assisted with arrangements for the meet.
Some the paperwork shared with us stated that Ron Clarke was interviewed during the trip.

Note: This video includes audio; and includes Jack Greenwood (hurdles), David Pain, and others.
One family shared the following Dec 2022:
“I feel so lucky to have found this film of the Veteran’s competition at Box Hill.
My dad, Jack Ryan, appears second to Wally Sheppard at about 11.12min in a 1500??.and at 17.37ish he’s filmed coming second to John Gilmore in a 5000??
This was right at the beginning of Dad’s running career, just as he started racing and before he had managed any records. By the end of 1974 he had the World 1500m and 5000m records. It’s fabulous to see Dad at this early stage as we only have a a bit of video of him running in the 1987 Games in Melbourne.”
