Hi Philip, where did you find them and do you have contacts with David Westwood. I had an email-adrs from him but lost the contact.

Hi Phil,
I was taught fly dressing but Dave Westwood amongst others and remember when he used to live in Huddersfield. He is still alive and well and living down in Derbyshire. I have his email address if you want to contact him, i'm sure he would reply.
