Ernie Witcomb celebrates a Century!

Noticed that Ernie Witcomb celebrated his 100th birthday a few months ago. Quite a guy and quite a story, which seems to be slipping from memory. Thought I'd post links. A shame his local paper spelled his name wrong.

And some links back to recent posts in this forum on Witcomb of London.

Guidance appreciated on unknown Witcomb model
