Saddened to learn recently of Tim O'Connor's passing. His "can-do" attitude will be missed!

Is anyone familiar with the current disposition of his P-26 replica projects?

I am really saddened by the news.

Last time I saw Tim was in May 2011, when I stopped by to say hello.

A few times we communicated through e-mail.

A really nice guy has left us.

My respectful condolences to his family.

Sorry to hear this. I never met Tim but I have followed the progress of the P-26s on the website for years. He was doing excellent work. I hope someone can see the P-26s through to completion.
