| 31 December 2010 - "Hogmanay" - Sad News:
Kenneth Bryce Marshall (1942 - 2010) passed away on this day. RIP "Kilomike" I will miss you Ken, as will many who knew you. Ken has entrusted me with his slide collection. Here are the first images for us all to enjoy. Here I present some of his Civil aircraft from his extensive collection. I started this project on May 26th, 2011 after the slides arrived, brought to Kingston by his good maritime friend Steve Peck. |
