Ok, thanks Janice
Hi Greg
Whereabouts in Perth did you see this press? I have friends there, so a good reason to visit.
HELLO ROY .Hello All, first post here.
I just discovered this forum and thread thanks to a link my aunt sent me last week. That was an interview by the IWM about my grandad's exploits in WW2. In it he mentions Taylor and Challen engineering. As I am an engineer myself and, more importantly, a Challen (I think this firm was set up by my great great grandad - might be another great in there), I was very interested. Then this thread pops up in google. Thanks to everyone for comments and photos. If anyone has questions, post them up and I'll do what I can to answer them.
Best regards
Roy Challen

My Grandfather was a design draughtsman at Taylor and Challen until his untimely death due to cancer in 1948. His name was Francis (Frank) Hallifax . I would like to find out more about his work and would appreciate any information
