Welcome

This site is about my activities as a chartered engineer and academic with a wide experience of the British motor industry particularly The Austin Motor Company and its successor incarnations. You will find brief details of my technical and creative writing including the forthcoming biography of my Father, Dick Etheridge who was a trade union celebrity working at the Longbridge plant of BMC

You will also find details of the lecture series I have given to a wide range of interest groups in Yorkshire. They concern lectures on global warming and the hydrogen economy, also three motoring lectures covering the Austin Motor Company, British Leyland and its successor companies after 1977 and the Ryder Report.

The famous and the infamous

The families of the famous or the infamous cannot avoid the shadow of their celebrity association.

My father, a reluctant celebrity and a giant in the Shop Stewards movement, was always in the eye of the press and broadcast media.

My mother, siblings and I lived our lives under the shadow he cast over us.
