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.
