Agreed!
Fred was a genius with his hands. His drawing skills where great to see.
Wish he did a book of his drawings. Don't think he did.
I miss the old bugger - I say that with love :)

I have always been a fan of Fred Dibna and just how much he did to
draw attention to the greatness of this country through its industrial
revolution. Today he single-handedly made historical engineering into
a lively tourist attraction. I thought about how ordinary Fred was and
that he had no formal training in engineering or history and that all
his knowledge was gained from reading countless books and his sheer
enthusiasm for the subject. He also had the ability to communicate his
knowledge with others in very simple terms.
Doesn't this remind you of our Albert Burgess? Anyone disagree?
