My try.
I wasn't successful at recovering your Hugh Ferns image so I sourced one of him in a slightly different pose online. Other than that I tried to retain the original look while cleaning up the text to make it a little more readable. Hope it's okay.

Glad I could help with the first one, Celt. Sorry, I spent a few hours on it and don't have time to do another. Someone else's turn. :)
Just a couple of suggestions: If possible, scan the image; if not, at least photograph it as straight on as possible; more restorers might then attempt it. Second, start a new post for your second request; more potential restorers will see it.
Cheers,
Peter
