This is actually my grandfather. My mum Pam Haynes and my aunt Caroline Haynes, his daughters, could tell you anything and everything you could want to know. Like his creation of Bowden House, Devon, their family home to his involvement in the creation of the catapult run which allows aircraft to land on ships. He was a naval engineer. In fact the he designed the naval base in Singapore which still exists today. If you would like all the information or achievements of bill don't hesitate to e-mail. [email protected]
