Giles "Doc" Romanes R I P
Just read that "Doc" Romanes, Eye Surgeon & Long Time Traction engine man has died aged 97
A true gentleman & willing to pass on his wisdom on a variety of subjects and a lot of it with a twinkling gleam in his eye, and a touch of sauciness in his talk ! He was in at the inception of the Traction Engine
Club, as it was originally called, & proud to show off his badge wearing Membership No 2 mounted on his engine.
He was also one of those medics who flew into Romania etc, after the break up of U. S. S. R. to line up patients on the aircraft loading steps, perform eye surgery, & see the results walk out of the rear into the
clear future.
Thank you "Doc" Rest In Piece Old Friend.
