He retired in 1985 but continued to draw for publications. He also took up model engineering and watercolour and oil painting. A selection of his works now hangs in the RAF Museum at Hendon, north London. Frank left London and moved to West Hallam, near Derby, and joined the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust. One of his last projects was helping to restore and test a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. He won many awards from the Guild of Aviation Artists.Frank was a quiet, unassuming man but at his studio desk, cutaway in progress, he always gave those interested a warm welcome. His skill with the pen, knowledge of what was needed and which details to omit, gave clarity and understanding to his drawings. He was once asked what makes a good cutaway artist. He replied: "An artist who really wants to know what goes on under the skin."</BLOCKQUOTE></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>GACspaceguy</TD><TD>. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Kite</TD><TD>.
