ALWYN GREENHALGH Boats Album Page 1
The following items were found in an untitled, un-captioned album with little other information as to their origin. I believe a significant proportion comes from the estate of Daisy Vanner, whose husband Ted Vanner' was a masterful exponent of model power boating from the beginning of the 20th Century.
