I didn't know he had died, I had taken a break from USENET.
I always respected Dave by the way he put his work up for scrutiny here, and was prepared to learn. He was amongst a small list of posters here that I hoped one day to meet and have a chat. Seeing his van like that is quite poignant.
Adam's away on hols at the moment, so he can't post to the group. But he's asked me to show you what he spotted parked in Filey ...
that *is* a good spot - what are the chances etc...
TMH died two years ago today.
Brilliant.
As a professionally trained and time-served suspicious bugger I did just wonder if Dave's daughter who had moved oop North had kept the van or sold it to someone Adam knows. But I'm confident she would have been trained by Dave to do a better paint job.
TBH, probably not a paint job so much as what happens when you protect the original paint for a few years with vinyl lettering / transfers, and then remove them.
And Adam's shot my fox with the news TMH's van was leased and sent back to the lease company.
He added he saw it on the 2nd anniversary of his death.
So amazing it is. And I'm left wondering about improbability generators and cups of really hot Yorkshire tea.
