Hello Phil, it is indeed me and the Invalid Carriage Register you're after. Don't worry about my reaction to your father's job of work, the scrapping is all part of the history. I exist to chart the history, therefore I do not ignore or whitewash this aspect of the vehicles. Neither do myself or the ICR decend to anything so childish as stamping the foot over the events of so long ago.
Anyway, I'd be most intrested to learn more about you & your father. Your father wouldn't happen to be called "Hall" would he? As this was the name of the man who did just that job in the northen part of the country in the last few years of the IVS. I knew OF him & even used to send disposable cameras up to him via a mutual pal, but I could never pin him down to an actual meeting....
Elsewhere, I point you in the direction of a subscription to the ICR's magazine; Conveyancer. This costs £10 per year for four A5 issues, & issue 4 is will shortly be off to the printers. Conveyancer leans heavily towards the powered vehicles of the British Invalid Vehicle Service, but EVERYTHING from no matter what country of the world, from hand propelled tricles to bathchairs to mobility scooters to converted cars to wooden legs can be and will be covered eventully.
Further details, etc can be had direct from me, & also feel free by all means to get in touch just for the chat? My contact details are as follows;
