Major James Forsythe MBE TD on-line references

Having in the previous post mentioned that much of the Forsythe Collection is now at York and the National Railway Museum, it is a good complement to mention my father's material. He was instrumental in a number of waterway and ship preservation projects between 1949-2004. Fortunately some on-line resources apart from our own website http://www.forsythe.demon.co.uk/ are now appearing for him. I clip in two urls:

http://www.wherryalbion.com/history/halloffame/forsythe.php

and

http://nrocat.norfolk.gov.uk/Dserve/dserve.exe?dsqServer=128.60.0.31&dsqIni=dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=show.tcl&dsqDb=Catalog&dsqPos=0&dsqSearch=((text)=forsythe)
The first is a nice tribute from the Norfolk Wherry Trust and the second is the Norfolk Record Office summary catalogue of his papers. Much that is there nicely amplifies what is in the Forsythe Collection at York, Prudhoe and Cambridge (details in the link).
