I was gutted when he died, loved everything about the man and he was a superb engineer.

Click my 'Old Glory' link & click on 'OG Merchandise'
There's two good books for sale & they're also in WH Smiths (who are the exclusive high-street suppliers)

(& the Brunel book is fantastic as well, got all 3 down in my snug)

One episode which always makes me chuckle, is when the family go off to Blackpool in the Landy and the kids are only young then, he leaves them and his wife playing on the sand while he tends to one of his jobs talk about a man mixing work with pleasure :lol: :lol:

A great man, not many left like him I suppose.

This has the makings of an excellent series, especially if it continues to have contributions by Sheila (his widow), Alf Molyneux & Jimmy Crooks (who bot accompanied him in the 'Made In Britain' series)
