‘Scene’ at SHOWBUS 2022, The ‘Wright’ Stuff Double Deckers on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

Sir William Wright, the founder of the company that carries his name, passed away in July 2022 year at the age of 94.

 

From small beginnings in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, he built a multi million pound company with worldwide connections.

 

This blog (1 of 2) is my small tribute to the man and to all that he achieved.

 

He certainly had the ‘Wright’ stuff.
