In Memoriam

[KWILParticipant @kwil]

Now that it has become public knowledge (Smoke Rings ME4539 – 22 July 2016).

The passing of Giles Parkes leaves a large hole in the ME fraternity in respect of gear cutting and hobbing. Those of us who knew Giles or became acquainted with him at the various exhibitions will understand what we have lost, a friendly person with a mine of information, gladly imparted.

RIP Giles.

Hi Ken,

Sorry to hear that, he was a lovely chap and will be missed. I remember the first time i came across him, he was wearing a home made ear trumpet saying it was so much better than a hearing aid as he could point it to the person speaking and cut out unwanted noise. Ever the practical person. Later we shared the SMEE stand where I got know him a little more.
