Are you able to ensure this stays near the top of the threads please?
I don’t think Mrs Michael should have to struggle with starting a new topic….Yes, we can do that. MrMichael’s daughter has been in touch. MrMichael has offered one of his treasured models into the next annual charity auction later this year. (Photos are attached)
The model is of a British Airways A320 (G-TOGG). The model is solid resin, with a stand. Its length is 46cm, height is 23cm, and wing span is 42cm.
His daughter said “Dad always liked your magazine, forum and the auction, although he always regretted never having won anything in it. I know he would be very pleased if this item could be in the next auction, and make a few bob for charity. He tells me that 100% of your forum users are huge BA fans and therefore hopes bidding would be keen. I think he was being ironic here as he was laughing when telling me.“

Mark CaswellKeymasterJust to get back on track on this thread, having spoken to the charity for this year’s online auction, we have created a Just Giving page for those forum users who wish to donate to charity in memory of MrMichael, but who don’t necessarily want to bid for the aircraft (as discussed on this thread: https://www.businesstraveller.com/forums/topic/business-traveller-online-charity-auction-2017/)

Mark CaswellKeymasterA reminder for anyone who might wish to bid on MrMichael’s model aircraft, that our charity auction closes in a couple of days.

capetonianmParticipantI have just looked at the JustGiving page and I see that a total of £60 has been raised by 2 contributors.
I realise that some people may have put in bids on the BA model aircraft, but I think, ladies and gentlemen, that we can do better than this.

Mark CaswellKeymasterThe auction has now finished, but we’ll keep the Just Giving page open for another month or so, in case anyone who didn’t managed to win the model plane still wants to make a donation.

HongKongLadyParticipantHaving not participated in this forum for some time, it was with great sadness that I read this post. May I offer my condolences to Mr Michael’s family. I hope your memories of, going by his posts, a man of knowledge and humour are of comfort to you. X
