More from Ron’s collection

This picture was taken by Andrew Dixon, who says "Ron was an absolute inspiration to many of us as a brilliant craftsman and truly lovely person and friend. We spent 6 weeks in Dubai with several others in a team led by Stewart Morris. This photo is of Ron on an unusual and truly useless mounting at a beach location with Lulu."
