Remembering Freebyrd Brian who passed away in October 2018

One of our meetings was held at a restaurant was in Scotland with Brian, Graham1961, SteveStrat and Steve’s wife Ging and who else, my wife Jessica. Everyone was so welcoming and Brian could talk about anything, a gentleman in the true sense.

A sad loss for everyone who knew him.

Rest in peace

Many thanks Phil from Jan & I for posting this in remembrance of Brian [Freebyrd] indeed he was a great personal Friend of ours & as Phil has said, a true Gentleman, who had a great sense of humour with a wealth of knowledge very sadly missed by us & many club members...... RIP Brian.

II knew Brian well and got on with him really well.

I remember meeting him not long before he passed away for lunch at Ratho.

It was a terrible shock to hear he passed.

Yeah, came as a shock to everyone. Brian would often stop at mine if he saw me at the garage when he was passing.

I presume they eventually found out where his tourer was. He kept it in a lock up but nobody knew where.
