Default Just heard

Catherine, I have just picked up the really sad news about your dad, I'm so sorry not to have mentioned it before. I met Alex the once when I came over from Scotland to research carriers for a book I was thinking of writing. He was so helpful and knowledgeable it was so good to chat about all things that were in his manuals that I could use. I spent time with him and Geoff talking about military stuff, it was a great time which I will always remember with a smile.
It was a year or two ago he contacted me to see if I would be interested in coming over to give a talk on carriers to military vehicle folk, many of which were likely to be on this forum!

A great person who will be remembered by me and I'm sure many others, he will be sorely missed, and I hope you and your family get through the next wee while okay.
With happy memories of my first visit to Canada where I met Alex.
Nigel
