John Forsey RIP

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Ron,

Thanks for letting us know. I am saddened to hear about John's passing. I did not know him personally, but I do know he had a large collection of vehicles taken over from Bapty's film hire used in A Bridge Too Far. This included the ex-Bart Vanderveen C8A HUA, which has since passed through the hands of various MLU members.

He was last active on MLU in June 2018 and I have now set his profile to "RIP". He has now joined the ranks of other reputable MLU members who are resting in peace.

I am contacting you as I can see that the late John Forsey was an active member of your Mapleleafup forum for many years. I wonder if anyone on your forum has any idea where the Schwimmwagen John Forsey sold around late 2006 early 2007 on Milweb has ended up?
John Forsey originally purchased this vehicle from our good friend Andrew Mollo - the well known Military uniform expert - who is trying to trace who has it now.
