RIP

This from ME site, in case you don't go there. Another asset to our fraternity gone to the big workshop in the sky. He will be missed.

We are sad to announce the passing of John Bertinat.

A name familiar to many readers of Model Engineer, John wrote many articles and is remembered for his stationary engines including this fine triple expansion marine engine. John's funeral will take place on Friday 27 April at St. Georege's Church, Orleton (south of Ludlow) at 12.00 noon.

Very sad news indeed Tel. John was a major player in the designing of small engines for a long time, especially ones that could do some work, namely his marine engines for model boats, which is where I knew him from.

I think it is his son that is keeping his name to the forefront by displaying his great collection of engines.

A great loss.


John

He certainly will be a great loss. I first came across him in the old S.I.M.E.C. days - he was pretty active there
