To all......sadly our Pops,Dave, Peanuts passed away yesterday afternoon. All that know him knew that he had unfortunately suffered from a heart problem for some years now and at this minute we believe that this was the cause of our loss. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all his family and friends for the opinions, laughter and time you had all given him, especially keeping his very busy mind occupied on various forms of social media. The Tank Park in the sky will be a noisier place.

I'm really gonna miss him

RIP, Mr Lukins

It was always a pleasure talking to Dave, he will be sorely missed.

When he posted, you took note and reset. Quintessential... now lost to these bounds, but such an admirable trait one can only aspire to emulate.

Used to read many posts of Minskaya, she going was a shock. But Dave just welcomed me to the forum 3 days before! Don't know what to say!
RIP.

Another loss. If anyone is able to please pass on my sincere condolences to his family. A true British gent from who's example all came away wiser.

As for the rest of you; get a grip! No more dying please!
