Sad news........the first time I saw Dave was at the D-Day show, Southsea in 1984, when a group of Australian enthusiasts came over for the Normandy tour. It was not until 1995 that I got to know him, when he invited me to join him on the Back To The Track convoy event in Australia, after that I came over on quite few more occasions to join him on the journey to Corowa. We had some good times, and visited a fair number of pubs across the country
As Jan has said, I am sure those that knew Dave, have some good stories to tell.
It was good to know you, Dave, old mate.
