Shocked. Heartfelt condolences to his family. May they take comfort that a guy with a simple hobby and a computer connection could make such a huge impact on thousands of us worldwide and be regarded with huge respect and affection by all.
I hope his eulogy may reflect this.

Don't know what to say - just don't know what to say  :(

That is a sad start to the day indeed. My condolences to Adrienne and family and of course to all his close friends who I'm sure are feeling this loss immensely.

To keep this forum going will indeed be a fine tribute to someone who put such love and passion into what he was doing.

RIP Des - you will be sorely missed

I am devastated. Des, his modelling skills and this community he has created played huge influence in my introduction to WWI modelling. Thank you Des for all that you did to create this area of this hobby even more beautiful.

My condolences to his family and his friends

Absolutely awful news-one of our leading lights has been lost to us. Des' contributions to our hobby cannot be underestimated and I hope the forum will continue as a long- lasting tribute to his talent and dedication. My heartfelt condolences to Adrienne, the family and to all members here.

Peace be with you Des.

Magic & Loss
My first contact with Des' mastery of modelling was a few months before WNW hit the market. I was searching for the layout of the wiring for a Sopwith triplane. Des' site was very informative on this niche subject. i became a (lurking) member a soon as this forum was instignated. His mastery of modelling was and remains an inspiration. Though we live worlds apart geographically,  His passing is a loss both personally and for this community :'( :'(
