My copy of Model Boats arrived today. Colin's piece on Paul is very enjoyable (not quite the right phrase, but you know what I mean) but it's the comment by Lindsey in the editorial that impressed me.
"on learning that I'd been brought in as editor of Model Boats, he immediately rang to wish me well and let me know I could call on him should I need help and advice"
Handing over the editorial chair isn't always smooth or easy - but for MB's best-known editor to offer the hand of help as soon as he could says a huge amount about Paul. That one action marks him out as someone who cared about other people, and cared about our hobby. I know it will have meant a huge amount. RIP Paul.
