Hallo Derek, As present-day Registrar I see from the Correspondence Files bequeathed me by David Hales that you have owned (at least) three Sopwiths, mostly in the 1980's.
I'd be glad to receive any news you can give me, as to the present locations of these machines.
Realising that putting such information on the website could be infringing the privacy rights of present owners, perhaps you could drop me a note at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
A Registrar's life can be frustrating...I see machines being sold at auction, etc., but never where they go to!
I take this opportunity to wish you (and all other readers of this entry) a Much Improved New Year, if not actually a Happy one! Paul Button.
