I regret to advise the death of long-term collector & dealer Allen France, of Huddersfield.

Although not a 'large' collector he had a good collection of models and in latter years had broadened his involvement by taking good selections of models & books to both the Lincoln & Liverpool Ship Shows.

A 'Gentleman of a Certain Age', he had stopped driving and relied on his family to provide transport & 'support' - something they did with unfailing good humour. Unfortunately he had a fall earlier this year which meant he wasn't able to get to this years shows, although we looked forward to seeing him next year.

He will be missed.
