That does the photo files and scanning the engineering designs and workings will take some time.
The following two scans are a useful closing.

Dad had to draw all the small plans to each carbon copy. Sometimes the clerk had the figures typed wrong when he checked and he altered them all.

At the recent meeting of the RE Museum Archive and Collections Committee, They decided to accept my offer of the photos and associated papers. So will get busy and finish the scanning and uploading. Nice to know they like the record and obviously don't have anything about it.

Thanks all for the compliments. It has been good fun seeing the photos and interpreting them and where they come into the history. Putting them to the museum stops the history being lost and who is to know what their destination may otherwise be when I pop my clogs. So much ends up in the landfill. Of course I have an interest in the work of my late Father but it runs far deeper in that it touches his thinking, how it is calculated and what is achieved by hundreds of soldiers working on it. All of them had survived a bitter war and it's also their story. They deserve to be remembered.
