Similar to the thread under fly dressings, you might find these two images interesting. They to came from David Westwood.

Hi Philip, where did you find them and do you have contacts with David Westwood. I had an email-adrs from him but lost the contact.

Could I place these two pictures on my site or Shall I ask him myself?

Greeting
There will allways be a solution.

Hi Phil,
I was taught fly dressing but Dave Westwood amongst others and remember when he used to live in Huddersfield. He is still alive and well and living down in Derbyshire. I have his email address if you want to contact him, i'm sure he would reply.
