Did you work at Morgan Fairest in the 60,s 70,s

I remember Sue Fairest.She used to drive a triumph vittesse convertible with wire wheels and dark metallic blue paint.She often wore a white scarf over her hair. I think she was bit older than me and mixed in a similar group, but about five years older.I think she was a friend of Jenny Sugg,her brother Tim was a friend of mine. Late teens and five years is a life time. Not quite on subject but related in a way. Some years later I tried to buy the aluminium power boat built at Morgan Faiest but somebody else got it,I believe it developed a problem with stress fractures in the hull. At our body shop we used some of the vacuum formed ABS front body section for mini's,made a visit to your factory to see them being formed.

Jess was my dad Pete is my brother, he started after me though he is 4 years older. Dad was a fitter, Pete worked in milling shop and I finished in Jig Borers following Ken Batty and Ivan Pickles. I was union convener two years or so before redundancy in 1981.

Jigborer,
