Images will temporarily be placed here so you can enjoy them (and make comment) before they go on the site proper. Basically, I have to work out where they are best suited to what text support etc. This page is coded to be invisible to search engines. You can ony access it by knowing the URL. The images are not in any order - just as I made them

Fran Righter recalls : "Dad went into business for himself in 1936. There was very little space in our house for a drafting board. After much shuffling about of furniture it was finally placed in the dinning room between the table and the buffet--just room enough for Dad. He had an idea for a little engine for a model airplane. I was only four years old, but remember the event well. It was all very exciting, because the next thing Dad did was add a little shop on the side of the garage. And the fun had just begun."
