Hello Redlight,
please pass on my condolences to Fil's family. I'm really sorry to hear this news. Over the years I bought several mutt parts from him
and Barbara and i had the great pleasure of meeting him at the War & Peace show here in England, some years ago.
He was a real gentleman; courteous, cheerful and full of knowledge.....he loved his mutts.
Ken
Kind regards....
Ken

Always wanted - Details and pictures of M416 Trailer data plates & M151 data plates & body-tags for my research. Thanks!

I found Fil's obituary online & thought that I would share the link with you all. His presence here on the G will surely be missed. RIP my friend!

Thanks Joe, I have to say that pic of him is a totally different Fil from the one I was used to. Sport shirt and jeans.
