So sad to hear of Derek's passing. Great times we all had on exch construction at the new as was then Macclesfield exchange. Remember being in Derek's MG B when on the way to work one day he took a bend a shade fast and we went through a fence and into a field !!! no damage to the car or ourselves. We never knew his age as he always told us he was 29 when I photographed his brother's wedding did his brother enlighten me but I kept the secret. |
