Retired member TN Davies MSc CEng MIMechE MIED MRAeS gives an account of his research work into possible cross-cultural differences in visual perception. The announcement in Engineering Designer (Sept/Oct 2011), advising members of the deadline for applications for the 2012 Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Travelling Fellowship Scheme, enabling individuals to travel overseas to carry out projects relating to their interest or profession, prompted me to offer a brief account of my own research involving young people in the UK and similar youngsters in Swaziland.
