Dear old fellah!

Such a shame when these old guys pass on, there does not seem too many who follow on with such a pioneering a spirit.

There would obviously be some, and good on them.

They were the days when a talented Individual could go a long way.

The original factory was at Brooklands famous for the Banked racetrack that carries the same name.   Nev
