Re: Michael Payne

Chris, A great loss indeed to the community.
Sadly i never knew the chap or corresponded with him, but his legacy will live on for ever, with his wonderful works on the Messerschmitt 109.
I too remember the article on Ernst Arnold and the mystery of the Scherer
Schwarm, and i cherish all the articles he wrote for Scale a/c Modelling, and Aviation News. These ive used for reference many many times.
He was quite simply Mr Messerschmitt 109 !!

A sad day for the aviation community, and enthusiasts a like.
The world is a poorer place, in his passing.
My condolences to his family too Chris. RIP.
Steve.
