Tony B Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) The BBC have just announced the death of Graham Lay, a military expert for the Antiques Road show. I met him at Chatham when I took Katy my WC54 to the recording at Chatham Dockyard. His first question was 'What is Katy doing here?' I was a bit supprised, but it turned out he had worked in Jersey and knew both Carol, Katy's former owner and Katy herself. He also told me that he loved MV's and had owned a Daimler Dingo till he was unable to drive it any more. A friendly, knowlegable man, who had a gift for making military history accesable to the public.

Vintage Wargaming Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) I am very sorry to hear that but thank you for posting the news. I never met him but corresponded by email with him over an item on a collection of toy soldiers and journal of Wargames from the 1870s which had appeared on Antiques Roadshow. He was very courteous and interested, and put me in touch with the family which resulted in my transcribing the Journal on the web. A true gentleman, very knowledgeable and he will be missed. Worth noting out of respect his surname was spelt Lay. Edited December 29, 2016 by Vintage Wargaming Correcting spelling of surname Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 It has been mentioned to me, and for that thanks, I've misspelt Graham's surname it should be it should be LAY. I apologise and could the moderators edit the title please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
