Peter Pellandine

A year later the partnership broke up amicably split and Pellandine founded Falcon Shells.

It is probable that Pellandine licensed Bill Ashton, formerly of Microplas and Weltex, and Ted George to continue making the Falcon under the Tiki brand in the 1960s.

Pellandine continued to operate Falcon Shells Ltd in England until he sold it in 1962 to Mike Moseley and emigrated to Australia.

During this time in South Australia Pellandine conducted state-sponsored experiments with a steam car.

He even made an attempt at the world steam car speed record on an Adelaide track in 1976.

[8] Pellandine moved back to Australia in the 1990s, where he continued to develop the Steamer, the final version being the Mark IV.
