Fred and Eve's middle child, she inherited her father’s gentle self-effacing nature but also his sense of spirited fun. She fully admitted to being a tad naughty!
Evelyn's tall, blonde and handsome WW1 veteran husband who was injured in the Battle of El-Hanna. Freddy was an excellent sportsman and magician. Not so much as a businessman.
Wyn's love of cars started when he learned to drive his father's new Daimler TB22 Drophead when he was 8 years old. He owned 66 cars and plenty of motorbikes in his lifetime, and shared a passion for all things petrol with friends such as Jack, Clifford, Mervyn and Struan.
Nigel, Evelyn and Freddy's oldest child, was taken under Wyn's wing when his Dad died young, and mentored to become his business successor. They had a shared passion and skill for engineering. He married Sylvia Harwood who shared her adoptive sister Christine with Wyn (they spent a very happy seven years together).
Sylvia's younger adopted sister Mavis Christine (alongside brother Robert) had a lovely childhood with Fanny and Leonard Harwood. Christine's lithe, blonde and blue-eyed look was loved by the camera (she modelled internationally) as much as by Wyn when they were introduced by his friend Struan Robertson. They spent a very happy seven years together despite the considerable age difference.
Wyn was a canny businessman and built up a nice little stable of engineering businesses, starting with Wyndham Hewitt Ltd. It was Chalwyn that became the backbone of his legacy, taken over by Nigel and then Freddy Page-Roberts, and it's still going strong today.
