Just read that George Garrett died on the 3rd April. Blooody clever bloke and an ex navy man to boot.

End of an era. Proud to be the owner of a Garrett.

Garrett was probably THE pioneer of this hobby, seen some massive changes to the technology too.
May he look favourably upon his followers and place gold in their path.
