David Edgington

Guess who just dropped in for a chat!

David Edgington (who along with David Butcher) started E.B.Spares back in 1969, hence “E.B.”.

Since retiring in 2006 David has been involved in voluntary work for Industrial Heritage and in 2010 he donated a 5 ton Petter Two-Stroke engine (built in 1912) to Internal Fire Museum of Power and paid for it to be restored

Here is a link to a youtube video showing the first start since the 1950s,

He has also been busy with the word processor writing for Stationary Engine Magazine, and has also written some 15 books on the subject.

He was also telling me that he had a great day at the Classic show at Sherborne where his 1967 Giulia Super was very much admired.
