Yes, Mike…you “Done Doed It”…

All is well…even Phil Creer, after seeing that Mike has joined; has offered his name…not his body; to the cause…

We are all meeting at the “Well of plenty thick skins”…and having fun…

So it was you was it? I thought it was yet another princess trying to find a frog to kiss.

Sorry about the lack of water. We have a drought order- I think someone in the Moscow underground Model Rail Club is siphoning it off.

Have you ever seen a Vogel in Uxbridge?

Sorry to hear you've lost a friend, Fred. I saw Tony's response on the next page under the topic "Mike Morgan gets around" and thought we had lost Mike. Ralph

Deryck was a fellow Englishman .
I was in regular contact with him for a while , he shared that indefinable peculiar British sense of humour that only the British fully comprehend .
We had a whale of a time swapping nonsensical stories —sadly I never kept them in my computer .
He also was an accomplished artist-it showed in the weathering that he performed on some of his models .
He painted scenic backgrounds for film studios .
He served his country in WW2 , doing that most dangerous of jobs , Forward Reconnaissance/Field Intelligence Gathering . He came very close on some occasions to getting the chop .
His post war experiences were enviable----he became a Transport Liaison Officer and spent much of his time learning to drive large German Steam loco’s .
He could , no doubt , have regaled me with more of his stories and his philosophy , but illness forced both of us to cut right down on emails .
Latterly he could scarcely operate his keyboard .
I shall miss him , and forever regret the fund of knowledge that died with him .
His sense of humour would , I feel , have us celebrate his life rather than mourn his death .
