We lost a dear friend, RIP Peter Watkins!

I didn't see anything announced here but the following news was just posted at SOH and I thought I'd better make it known here as he was well known at CBFS too. Apparently Peter Watkins passed away recently after a lengthy illness.

The message a SOH member got from Peter's spouse was: " I have been trying to find you and others from the flight sim thingy to tell you. He passed on the 10th March, peacefully in his sleep. He fought valiantly for 2 years after being given only 6 months to live. The whole family are devastated...."

He WILL be missed!

Repaint Royalty.
R.I.P. Peter, perhaps you can do some "painting the clouds with sunshine"
