RIP Dr Bob

Postby Mayfly » Wed Feb 03, 2021 2:40 pm

Sadly Dr Robert Pleming passed away yesterday at home.

Whatever peoples opinions are of how things ended up or how they were run, I can with hand on heart say that I know of no-one who could have achieved what Robert did. It was down to his tenacity and sheer stubbornness that 558 flew again.

Condolences to his wife.

RIP Dr Bob.

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.
