President of the Midlands Meccano Guild 2008 -2012, died suddenly on 9th June 2012 at the age of 92.
Over the years Jack brought a number of fine models to MMG meetings. Many of them were clocks containing complicated mechanisms which he revelled in although these were relieved by the occasional railway locomotive.
In later years his model-building reduced and carrying models around became more difficult but he was always very interested to discuss the details of the various models others had brought along.
Right to the end Jack was a great traveller, particularly by rail.
As you know he attended our Midlands Meccano Guild meetings in Baginton, and also a number of other UK Club meetings, but this was nothing compared to the annual trips he made to the CAM meeting wherever it happened to be in France.
