Thanks gents, for the confirmation.

So sorry to hear about Reg. We shared a lot of e-mails together trying to crack AviaQuiz. For a guy who only owned one book on aircraft, he did remarkably well in all challenges and outfoxed me many times. He had a dry wit and a black sense of humour. For the DC-3 tailwheel on AviaQuiz he spotted it straight away but kept me guessing. When I asked him why he did that he replied "I didn't want to spoil your fun mate!"

It was always about the fun. Every e-mail he sent ended with, "Are we still having fun?"
I've sent my condolences to his wife/partner (thanks for the address David) and one to Reg....just in case....

In honour of Reg and his only book, The Observer's Book of Aircraft 1961, here's one from it...



Yes Reg, I'm still having fun.
