The Pattern Room & Herbert Woodend Memorial (DVD Video)

[Ian Skennerton]

‘The Pattern Room & Herbert Woodend Memorial’ has video and digital photos from both Museums Tours to England, other video and stills I took on various visits, and more from the National Firearms Centre at Leeds, with their permission for publication of course. DVD also has vision from our Museums Tours in 1998 & 2006. I am sure many forum members will be interested anyway.

The 40-minute DVD has historical details of the Tower of London, the Pattern Room, RSAF Enfield, MOD Nottingham and other related arms manufacture in England. There are images of Herb Woodend (he was camera shy), his contribution and a eulogy for dear Herb. I’m afraid too many cigarettes and more than a fair share of alcohol contributed to the cancer that took him at a relatively early age in July 2003. The whole DVD came together quite well, I am probably my own harshest critic so that serves as a benchmark.

The DVD is $19.50 presented in a plastic folder with sleeve, posted in a special shipper which comes to $9, a total of A$28.50. If anyone would like a copy, contact Ian Skennerton, PO Box 80, Labrador 4215, Australia or idskennerton@hotmail.com We only made a short copy run as the whole episode has been so time and labour intensive.

Cheers, Ian

Just got my copy and enjoyed it immensely. Sure brought back memories of the old place at Enfield Lock and the "few pints" Herbie and I had sitting in Rifles or on the edge of the lock as we did the day the place closed. Then to Nottingham and the "new and improved" Pattern Room. What memories it brought back.
Even the picture I took of Herbie holding the gold plated artillery luger.....Last picture I took of Herbie as he went down hill quickly after that.
RIP old friend.
