When I was a kid I was friendly with a bloke who owned a Fowell, Gordon Wells, is he still around? He told me that best part of steam events is when the public have gone home. (Or perhaps in Fawley's case arrived)
How true he was.
BTW, and off topic. My tutor at university was called Fowell. On our first meeting I said "Oh, as in the traction engines". "No" he replied "that's Fowler."
Not really tactful to correct someone about their surname having just met, is it!
