John Miller 1935 – 2010
The Scale flightline at the Nationals will not be the same this year, as John Miller will not be sitting in the judge’s chair. Very sadly, and unexpectedley, John died in July after a short illness. He was a lifelong aeromodeller, and for many years now a highly respected judge at Scale RC events. He was also on the FAI International judges list, and judged F4B Scale CL at two International Championships. Unlike some judges, John was prepared to put his own reputation on the line and enter events himself. He was fully intending to enter the Flying Only class at this years Nationals, and had a new model ready to go. He was an Area Chief Examiner for many years, and was in fact in at the start of the Achievement Scheme, being one of the first examiners to be appointed. Among his other talents, John was a very good jazz clarinetist. John will be greatly missed by his many friends. We all send our condolences to his wife Jenny and his three children from his first marriage.
