John Kenyon, founding Chairman of the BAPC, was at the BAPC’s 40th anniversary event at Derby a few weeks ago. He was saying that he now owns/lives in the house in Bembridge that was owned by either Britten or Norman (can’t remember which) and that doubled up as the company’s design office. Whilst negotiating the purchase he found a quantity of drawings/plans had been apparently discarded and left behind. He asked if he could have them and was told “yes”. However by the time they took over the house to move in the drawings had disappeared – apparently ‘liberated’ by someone else with an interest in them.
