"The Last Word". When I first heard the Radio program that talked about people who have passed away recently, I felt it was a bit macabre ... but then I found myself learning a lot about some remarkable people. It helped, then, pass a long journey between Melksham and Inverness. Ironically, I came across the show a second time yesterday as I drove from Melksham to Aberdeen ...

Arthur Marshall, sone of one of the pioneers of Aviation who ran Marshalls of Cambridge for many years, passed away recently. Responsible for the droopnose of Concorde, and for in flight refuelling of the Hercules (desinged and fitted in 17 days at the start of the Faulkland conflict) the company has a remarkable history and Sir Arthur, who passed away at 103, had a huge reputation as a workaholic. It's said, though, that Sunday lunch with the familiy was always important ... so they went to his office for lunch.

Chris Lightfoot, one of the men behind the "My Society" website, and the petition software that we used on the PM's site for our train petition, passed away last month too at just 28. Another enthusiast for learning and for what he did, he'll be sorely missed.
