ROTUI
photo & details ex Ken Ricketts
Early post war photos of Rotui the 1938 Chris Craft owned by Alec & Linda Walker , seen here with dodger & grained combings. Ken was given the photos by Helen Coggan, the daughter of a previous owner (Joe Coggan) of Tiromoana. Photo most likely taken by Henry Allen whose daughter, Esme, was Helen’s mother (Joe Coggan’s wife). The link being the Coggan’s & the Allen’s were good friends with the Walkers – Ken tales are always intricate 🙂
I have included a later photo, with painted combings, which shows how the vanished combing in the older photow, were more suited to her Chris Craft design / style. Alan H

I have tried to contact Ken Ricketts on the email address he gave when asking for info on Rotui The email address is not valid. My wife was the daughter of the Walkers whom Ken mentioned and she remembers Ken from when she was a child. do you have Ken’s current contact details?
