Chatanooga

Hello Danny, somewhere in the photo's I got from my father there is one of
the Chatanooga Choo-Choo. He took it on the way to Nashville. I believe that
he did some Vengeance course there & possibly a Stromberg carburetter
course, perhaps also a Pratt & Whitney course. He mentiond to me how nice
the sets of Pratt & Whitney spanners were (I still have one spanner) and also the problems of setting up
Stromberg carburetters without a flow bench. He spent some time assembling
VV's in India. I have his service records, but back in NZ, I am in Spain now.
Hard to tell from the records where he actually was as they are difficult to
reconcile with my recollection of his anecdotes.
John
