A sad loss for us all, but especially for Sarah and Maureen.
I spoke with Michael on the Friday before he went into hospital, he sounded very unwell, but offered to do something for me and for BSAOC, once he was better - generous to a fault.
A great technical help, when I bought my Myford lathe, I have a set of Myford collets he sold me.
When I was very seriously ill in hospital, my brother from Cheshire & Michael from Leicestershire both turned up unannounced on the same day. The boost they gave me meant the staff waived visiting restrictions.
Rest in Eternal Peace a best friend.
