Some on this forum may know or have met Mick Avann, one of the staunchest members of the RAS, ex RAF and also a valued employee of Retrotec/Aerovintage/Historic Aircraft Collection. Sadly, Michael passed away just recently, at an all too early age, after a long battle against his illness and his funeral will be this coming week in Hastings.

Very, very sad news. Worked with Mick in 80’s and helped him retrieve some of Odihams Meteor (ex gate guard) from the burning dump. Many happy memories .
RIP Mick you will be sorely missed.

Thats sad news. Never knew him in person but i only spoke to him about six months ago on the phone. Very friendly, helpful chap.
Condolences to Mick’s friends and family.
