A rare photo of us together on the beach. Here we are braving the Wellington wind by the Karori Rocks Lighthouse. There is a distinct lean on it, and it was designed to withstand the fearsome winds whipping between the North and South Islands. Karori Rocks also marks the point where the inter-island ferry swing around as they enter and leave Wellington Harbour.

Not quite a lost brand, but not far off it, as it was merged to form Mirrlees Blackstone a part of Alstom. Mirrlees were the builders of the worlds third diesel engine, and at one stage held the exclusive right for the diesel engine patent in the UK.
