Patrick Whitehouse
Patrick Bruce Whitehouse OBE (1922–1993) pioneered the preservation of disused railway branch lines, and the restoration to working order of the finest of Britain's steam locomotives after they were replaced by diesel locomotion in the 1960s.
==Career==
Whitehouse reached the rank of Squadron Leader in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, navigating Lancaster bombers. After his tour of duty, while navigating a transport plane he was shot down in the Mediterranean and survived for four days in a life raft before being rescued. His colleague, the pilot, died on the second day.
For much of his life, Whitehouse ran the family building business: B. Whitehouse and Sons, being appointed OBE in the 1960s〔The Times 17 August 1993〕 for his campaign for safety regulations on building sites.
