Mike was one of the unsung heroes for aviation preservation. Whilst he did not get to finish his projects, he amassed a huge amount of Typhoon stuff. Mike also acquired many other parts that were handed on to other people (most notably Hurricane & Defiant) . He was a great guy, friendly, prolific and keen to help.
