866 forum posts 47 photos | He was a respected contributor to ME in the '60s/ '70s. Mainly known for very detailed constructional series for 1.5" scale Allchin TE. At the time of his death he was describing a Marshal(?) portable engine. I think that he acted as a ME Exhibition juudge for road vehicles. AFAIK he was a schoolteacher by profession, lived in Sheffield area. Edited By Clive Brown 1 on 31/01/2019 16:24:25 |

Hughes by Martin Evans in the Model Engineer Volume 143 No 3565 15-31 July 1977 and a bit fuller appreciation by Arnold Throp (also from Sheffield) in the next issue No 3566 5-18 August 1977. W.J. Hughes also wrote under the nom de plume of 'Northener' |
