David Davis Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 You never know what's round the corner do you? I'm really quite shocked. I met Chris for the first and only time in the rain at Greenacres last month and we talked about the Super 60s we had built for the event. I even gave him the engine he used in his. Poor Chris. My condolences to the family. Edited By David Davis on 30/07/2012 18:16:12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 As you say David, we were only chatting to him a month ago. That's desperately sad news, Chris was a great modeller, a friend of the forum here and helped many others along the way. Please pass on our sincere condolances Tony.

Pete B Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I had the good fortune to meet Chris at Greenacres last month and we spent much of the day chatting about modelling and life in general. A genial man with a real gift for modelling, as his threads bear witness,he will be much-missed here on the forum. It was my pleasure to have spent some all-too-brief time with him and I would like to add my condolences to his family and friends.

Mike Etheridge 1 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well I had a lot of contact with Chris over the modifications to my Matador. I felt that I had made a friend and was keenly waiting for him to report on the flying of his recently constructed Matador and Super 60. I almost can't believe he has gone--he had so much to offer it seemed and was obviously supported by his wife and family who must be devastated.
