Harry Hales - Howard Wright - 21-03-2024
Dear All
More sad news. Harry Hales died this morning.
He was a through and through Sevener, involved in racing, club activity, VSCC and South Wales A7 Club. Some may know him from his booklet on Dynamos.
I’ll post details of funeral arrangements etc when I know them.

Ah, that is sad news.
Harry was a familiar face at autojumbles and I benefitted greatly from his technical advice on occasions.
My condolences to his family.

Harry will be missed.
If any of you used a tab washer on your A7, prior to about 10 years ago, Harry would most likely have made it, by hand, in his garage. He had dies for almost all of the washers needed.
He was an extremely cheery and enthusiastic Austin Seven owner, most of my memories of him are at Caldicot Castle rallies, with his green Ruby. He had many adventures, hopefully others will share the story of those here, too.
It was great to have known you, Harry, sleep easy.

Dad and mum write,
Harry and Jan were true friends over the years, and made us very welcome, especially when we first came to Wales. Harry will be deeply missed. Our sincere sympathies go to Jan and the family. Jim and Lynda Jennifer and Stephen Crisp
