Re: Eric Larger has passed away

Hello All,

I don't get around to visiting all the discussion boards as much as I used to - but this news is a shock and a real blow.

I had the pleasure of meeting Eric some 15 years ago. He twice visited England and stayed with my wife and I at our home. I remember a very funny evening driving around the English countryside in pouring rain in the dead of winter in pitch darkness. It was a foul night. Eddie Creek was driving, I was trying to map read and Arthur Bentley was in the back of the car with Eric. We were trying to find a pub - and unbelieveably, couldn't. All I remember from the back seat was this very amusing French accent: 'Mon Dieu! Weee'll we never find a bluurrdy Onglish peub??' Priceless.

He always used to say that Luftwaffe camouflage was a subject of 'complete madness' (French accent again). He was also a font of enthusiasm.

Sad news for our community.
