Hordern-Richmond had a factory on the edge of the airfield making propellers. In the photo of the team, Bill Locke from Weston Turville is 3rd from left. The man 5th from left is Bernard Winwood (my very good friend) from Thame. Bill left Hordern-Richmond when the project closed and he moved to Airtech designing and began making fiberglass products mainly portable fiberglass portable radio transmitting pack sets. Regards Alan Osborn While Bill Locke’s name is in the memo, Bernard Winwood name is not. This person’s name is still being researched. Shown in the table below are the known people and their locations in the photograph. If you can identify any of the other individuals by name in the photograph, please let us know. We will update this information with your help. Margaret worked with an engineer and made the molds for the car. This was an iterative process and time and time again the molds were revised until they got the shape just right. You see, they didn’t take the molds from an existing full size mock-up of the car – which is what was typically done. Instead, they created the molds one panel at a time, and built the car panel by panel. A very laborious process! One of the pictures shared earlier in this story shows Margaret at work at the bench, mixing the resin and materials needed to layup the fiberglass in the mold. She tells me “I itched like mad with that fiberglass – every single day!” Here’s Who We Have Been Able To Successfully Match: From Left to Right Person 1: Person 2: Jack Jackman—confirmed by Richard Evans Person 3: Bill Locke—confirmed by Alan Osborn Person 4: Person 5: Possibly Bernard Winwood—provided by Alan Osborn Person 6: Person 7: Margaret Woolsey—maiden name Miss Margaret Raeburn Person 8: Person 9:
