Regards Rick.

That would be George Russell , he lived just down the road from me in The Basin.

George had a workshop in his back yard , he and his son did the vintage engine re-building for many years . On the wall of his workshop, there were old photographs of a Ryan monoplane , I think he was a pilot in the 1950's.

He restored a 1915 T model Ford but his usual conveyance was a Morris Minor.

He did odd jobs for me like making bushes , I recall he re-bushed a Dodge piston gudgeon for me . I heard that he had medical issues later on and I doubt that the business is still running. He had a huge stock of vintage engine parts , wonder what happened to it all.
