In 1935 Howard landed a job with Armstrong Whitworth in Coventry and in 1936 he married Edith Deborah and moved into a house not far from the factory. On the first wedding anniversary little Jim arrived, to be followed almost two years later by Michael. After the Coventry blitz the family moved back to Weedon, Howard continuing to work at AW's. The arrival of Michael necessitated interesting changes to NV 6016.
Even with the introduction of a front cockpit to hold Jim the car was not really big enough and along came a four-wheeler! CNV 285 which, although not being used, was still around at Howard's death. The family rose to three sons but unfortunately the middle one, Michael, died from Poliomyelitis in the outbreak of 1950, aged 11.
One thing I perhaps ought to point out. I do not use the standard colours for links, on a black background they are not that easy to see therefore you will find
