ferretfixer Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) thats a real shame, my dad worked with him when he owned the heavy plant business and i know him well shame I also Knew Tony VERY well, what a shame. I hope Lillian can keep the Bussiness going. Tony was a Gentleman & always up front & honest in his bussiness dealings with me. Tony had some amazing contacts, & was one of the VERY privelidged few to gain access to former Soviet Russia to get the Kursk Captured German weapons out & to the UK. I hope this may continue as if not, the prices of Thompsons & MG34's will rocket!...:-( My Condolences to Tonys Family. Mike. :embarrassed: Edited February 11, 2010 by ferretfixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnixartillery Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) I don't know if many of you have heard the sad news that Tony Budge had passed away last week. The guy was a major boost to the military vehicle movement and along with Bob procured an amazing amount of vehicles and equipment. A true legend and a Gentlemen. I would like to offer my condolences to family and friends. Rob........rnixartillery. Mod edit... threads merged Edited February 10, 2010 by Marmite!!
