Ron,
Thanks for letting us know. I am saddened to hear about John's passing. I did not know him personally, but I do know he had a large collection of vehicles taken over from Bapty's film hire used in A Bridge Too Far. This included the ex-Bart Vanderveen C8A HUA, which has since passed through the hands of various MLU members.
He was last active on MLU in June 2018 and I have now set
his profile to "RIP". He has now joined the ranks of other reputable MLU members who are resting in peace.
Hanno
