Words from daughter - Julie.
This is a picture of the Bi wing aeroplane Dad built. VH-UYXIn the picture He is standing with Captain Rex Hall. They flew together in the Redex Trial .. Sydney - Darwin - Sydney. Captain Rex Hall went on to fly commercial liners for Swiss Air

The Millers Express is another one Dad was commissioned to build for a man named Miller who wanted to use it for shows and children's rides.
He built numerous other trains and show attractions.
The Pacific Nine .. (Actual scale model train) was built by Dad in the late 1940's. It was on tracks which went around our house at Tamworth. The picture of the two children on it is my eldest sister .. Lynette (back) & a cousin (front).
The Pacific Nine was eventually sold to a man who put trucks on the back and used it for children's entertainment rides on top of one of the large department stores in Sydney.
