Roy did a sculpture (head only) of Sir Malcolm Arnold composer. They were cast in bronze by The Black Isle Foundry, Nairn in Scotland. After the casting the original clay model was destroyed. Only two heads were cast. one of these was presented to The Royal and Derngate Theatre in Northampton, where Sir Malcolm was born and where an annual festival of his music is held. The cast is in the hands of a private collector, living in Wales in The Gower.
