Sad indeed to hear of Nigel's passing, he was one of those 'stand-out' characters of the term ahead of us
who had a ‘larger than life’ impact on us bunch of raw 'Sproggs'. Nigel was a knowledgeable contributor to
RAN Skilled Hands, an all-round 'nice bloke' and will be sadly missed...

Rest on your oars Nigel, your jouney's done... [-o<


P.S. This came in from Bob 'Kip' Dunlop via Facebook...

In case you havn't heard Nigel Baird-Orr passed away a few days ago. His funeral is at the Bunbury
Crematorium at 10:30am on 10/10/2012. Cheers....
