Someone contacted me asking the following:
Alan:
25+ years ago, when I was working in Saudi, there was a British fellow - Dave something, that had a Black 5 that he built in 1" scale...beautiful job...
He was working as an electronics repair tech for the local Revox / Yamaha shop in al Khobar.
Any chance of you putting out feelers to see if he has returned to the UK / still around?
Even for Saudi, he was a bit odd...he had a test track in his apartment...smoke / coal soot all over the ceiling (and everything else)..Excellent modeller - the paint on his Black 5 looked like a polished boot heal.....
a real rivet counter if I ever met one.
================================
I cant help, but maybe someone here can.
