I do not have an image of my own but here is one from the Mark One Partners website. Simon is front row right.

RIP Simon.

I worked on this project and spent much time researching it on behalf of the owners. Simon was always a most enthusiastic individual who had a very knowledgeable yet questioning mind. He was someone who really appreciated the effort put in to getting things right and was quick to say “thanks”, certainly to me anyway. Both the book by Andy Saunders and the Mk1 Partners website are loaded with images that I took as the project progressed and the above photo is actually one of mine supplied to Simon directly for his website. It was taken following the third flight of the aircraft and the first to be witnessed by the owners. I was standing on the roof of one of our tractors, that’s why I’m not in the picture! The second Spitfire, N3200 is coming on apace and that has been researched and recorded in a similar way to the first. Whether N3200’s record will join the website now we will have to wait and see. All the guys at both ARC and HFL are extremely saddened by the news, which we received several days ago. For myself, I can only say that Simon was a great guy to deal with, a true enthusiast and a businessman who had time for individuals on a personal level and who always showed his appreciation of their efforts for him. He will be missed by those of us at Duxford who were lucky enough to have had the pleasure of his company and to have shared his enthusiasm.
