I read with interest, .y name is John Hirons as was to my dad's name. Dad used to work at the AEI (formerly the BTH) in Rugby, Dad worked in the Plant Applications Engineering Department with Howard in the 60's. Sadly Dad died in 1965 and I took on his place where I met with Howard sharing our same interest in RC model aircraft. I will always remember 1st his lunch break comprise of salad and brown bread and honey and lemon for drink. His transport, well long before MOT came in was an early austin 7 chassis, no body work! And held together with Dexion strip. He drove this "thing" back and forth between Braunton and Mill Road Rugby complete with his old trench coat. I am currently writing my autobiography and I've incorporated Howard and the AEI and I have also a copy of his book on RC which I treasure. Yes Howard was a one off and a marvellous man, regards John Hirons "now 80 years young "
