Great piece about a much loved man and world expert on hoverflies. Just seeing that photo of Austin outside his signal box brought a smile to my face and brought back many happy memories. Truly they don't make them like Austin anymore.
Quite so David. Amazing to see all the articles and papers that he published, mostly on hoverflies of course or the practical use of his lure. I've just acquired several of his railway photographs and want to write an article for the Sheffield Transport Study Group Journal. Would it be in order to use the superb colour photograph of Austin in Oughty Bridge signal box that appeared in your piece on Austin please?

Superb piece of reminiscence about Austin. A smashing chap but a truly great naturalist.
Many thanks! Yes, Austin was an inspiration to many, I think.
