I spent some time with Neil at the Yorkshire drive and he was talking to me about his health, he did seem very upbeat and loving life out in the Zed on that day.
He will be missed for his great company and massive input in collecting data on the MZ3 numbers.

My thoughts are with his family.

Contact the organiser straight away if you want an area.
The turnout was so good that they now only take booked clubs.
Great day out and a wide range of static vehicles.
The museum is also worth the visit.
