Wonderful read Paul... ;)
I believe there is an article on him somewhere in the library at the old homestead. Just a quick question Paul... Is Frank wearing your motorcycle boots in picture one...??? ;D :) Oh to have air travel like the 30s with white linen on the tables... ;) |

... ;D... ;D...! Passenger travel in those far-off days is a million light-years away from what it is now! Even in the 1960's I can recall small groups of passengers sitting or lying on the grass, chatting amongst themselves in brilliant warm sunshine at my local Staverton airfield, patiently waiting for their aeroplane to arrive to take them off to the Channel Islands! Now...its chaos! Paul... :)...! Boots?....probably mine!... ;)...! |

There was a rather excellent article on him and his explorations in Aeroplane last year I think.
