I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. He was a brilliant commentator and a lovely guy. I enjoyed his company many times and it was always a laugh. I recall one King's Cup from White Waltham to Swansea, when over Porthcawl I was flipped in a RF4 and cracked the hood - with my head!!! Later at a function I organised at the Royal Lancaster the menu was passed to me from John who had depicted the incident inside with one of his drawings. I have it still. We all have to go sometime but when folk like John go, you know that Heaven is going to be better for his renowned presence.
RIP, John. I for one will never forget you.
