Cheers Bob , I cant wait to cover it in swarf 
, hopefully not too long now.
I forgot to mention the Photo Dallen posted , cheers, so similar, I think that photo looks like some I saw a while back that were also taken in WW2 using Kodak film, They were a crackin set of coloured photos , really clear and bright. Its strange to think that Ruby Loftus and the lady in that photo were both making items for the same war effort.
I know a lad with a lathe and one day as he was messing about with the garage door open an old lady came down his drive and asked was it a lathe he was working on, when he said yes , she explained she operated one during the war years and had a go on his lathe and did fine
she siad she really enjoyed operating a lathe again.
Cheers Mick
