Re: One fewer - Billy Drake
Yes, very sad.

I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful character on several occasions.

RIP Billy

Brian

Re: One fewer - Billy Drake
I echo that

His autobiography was published by Grub Street in 2002 (reprinted in 2009) and is surprisingly naked and true. No excuses there, a very upright man. Guess I would have liked him if I had met him..

Cheers Billy
Stig
