Hi
The launcher in the menu points to this script:-
################################################## ###########################
#! /bin/bash
#
# Shell script to start the WSJT SDR

#
#
################################################## ###########################
################################################## #########################
# Make sure jack is not already running
TMP=`ps -ef | grep jackd | grep -v grep | wc -l`
if [ ! $TMP == 0 ]; then
echo "jackd is already running. Stopping Jack daemon..."
killall jackd
fi
sleep 1
cd /home/richard/SDR/wsjt-rev2454/
python wsjt.py
>From the CLI it works fine from any location and fails to run when
started from the menu.
file permissions are :-
-rwxrwxrwx 1 richard richard 779 Oct
so anyone and their dog can run it, what have I missed ?, I done it many
time on other distros.

Drop the 'cd' and try:
python /home/richard/SDR/wsjt-rev2454/wsjt.py
If that doesn't help, define PATH in the script or use full path to the
binaries/scripts you're calling.

Do you mean something like
WSJT=/home/richard/SDR/wsjt-re2454
then use $WSJT
I tried that and it threw it out as bad syntax

No. You know what defining the PATH means, don't you?
First thing to do would be to swap the last line in the script from:
python wsjt.py
to:
echo $PATH > test
pwd >> test
Then run it from the menu again and check the content of the "test" file.

It fails? Why do you think it fails?
I mean, does the python script launches a GUI based program, runs a
daemon/service in background or takes any visible action?

I don't see anything wrong with your script :-?
Let's see (simplified sample):
sm01@stt008:~/Desktop$ cat test.sh
#! /bin/bash
cd /home/sm01/Desktop
python test.py
sm01@stt008:~/Desktop$ cat test.py
#!/usr/bin/python
a = open("/home/sm01/Desktop/sample.txt", "w")
a.write("sampe text
")
After double-clicking on the launcher, the small python script is run and
the file (which was not present before running it) is created with the
right content which means the script executes successfully when called
from the launcher:
sm01@stt008:~/Desktop$ cat sample.txt
sampe text
Greetings,
