A Funaral service was held on the Isle of Wight on the 10th of Febuary
And a Memorial service will be held on the 13th of May 2006

Jim was in the RAAF and post war did top dressing in New Zealand before moving to the UK in the early 1950, Desmon Norman, John Brittan and Jim
began converting Tiger Moths and exporting them to NZ.
The three went there own ways with Brittan and Norman going on to
create the BN Islander. And Jim went into production of the Micronair
atomiser.He had many trips to Sudan and Africa for regular sparying
seasions.

Micronair had an agreement with with Micron Sprayers to use the Patents already held by them on this technique.
But Micronair developed the various applications and version of the
atomoiser.
