I had just read this elsewhere. Sad news indeed, but what a legacy he has left behind in railway preservation as well as wildlife conservation.

Should have been Knighted instead of an MP who served 10 years in his constituency. David was MUCH More a deserving case. R I P David and Thank you for all you did for Preservation and wildlife.

I will always remember the day I met him near Longmoor just after he had bought the 9F. He very proudly showed me round the 9F and the 3MT Standard loco which he also owned. I spent about two hours in his company, much to the chagrin of my wife and three little girls at the time. A truly memorable man in many ways. R.I.P. David.
