RIP Motto

[Mike K]

Dave Mottram AKA 'Motto' on the MLU forum , has passed away.

Dave was a early member of the local MV club, I believe he first joined the VMVC in 1973. In the early days, Dave was often seen driving around in his Lend-Lease Chevrolet truck . A natural born engineer, in the 1960s Dave had trained as an Airframe fitter and went onto a long career in the airline industry - eventually qualifying as a licensed airframe engineer. He was working on many aircraft types including DC9 and 727 airline jets. Dave occasionally rode to work on his ex-army WLA Harley, which, I believe he had purchased from the govt. disposals auctions at Tottenham.

Dave bought the Harley from Tottenham auctions I believe and was only the second owner and kept it in original condition. He sold it to my son Jake a couple of years ago when his health meant he could no longer ride it. Jake has been asked to bring it to his funeral next week.
Didn’t really need to be asked.
