This is very sad news. I'm lost for words, I really liked Alex, enthusiastic & bubbly, always had time to chat.
Never saw him lose it even when he forgot his batteries
Alex loved tinkering, be it boats, planes, electronics or shed-life - I'm gobsmacked, I dont know what to say.
RIP Alex and thank you.
Cheers

Alex was a regular at Ponty. I saw him and chatted to him again this year, and he was his usual cheerful self. I couldn't believe it when I read that he had passed - he looked good for another 20 years when I last saw him!

RIP Alex.

Am hearing reports that the great lensman of Ponty, RCME columnist and all round nice bloke has passed away suddenly.

So sad, he became good a modelling friend over the years and we had great banter. After chatting at Ponte I said I would I send him my Ramblings article so we didn't duplicate content. He got it a few weeks ago so I hope he managed to get his done and it can be published.. RIP Alex.

That's a shame. I never met Alex, but he seemed to always be there at any event I attended, and took some great photos too. I enjoyed reading his blog and his various articles. Always a sad day when another Aeromodeller and shed-dweller passes.
RIP fella.

Spoke with Kevin (RCM&E ed) this morning. Unfortunately Alex didn't get his Ponte article in.
