Ian Williams died in Maidstone Hospital on Thursday 20 June 2013 after battling cancer for several years. Ian was a stalwart member of the NACC’s Kent, South London and East Sussex Section. With his wife Susan, he established a museum of hundreds of model trains, trams, full-sized bicycles, scooters, motor cycles, and military memorabilia in their home. The NACC Kent Section often had events based around open days at Ian & Susan’s Museum, raising money for the British Heart Foundation.
Ian was a retired aircraft engineer, having worked for Vickers Armstrong and British European Airways and had a lifelong passion for machines.
Fellow Kent enthusiast, Luke Booth said:
“He was a very important member of the Kent and Sussex Section organising masses of runs. That was until ill health made him take life slightly easier. He still organised meets at his museum and charity fund raising for the British Heart Foundation. He will be very sadly missed.”
