David Martin disappearance question
David Martin is playing poker with Jimmy Hoffa, but I can't divulge where the game is.

Here's the story in brief, as I remember it...
After selling his company to the TGI group for around 1.5M GBP (he stayed on as R&D director) Dave Martin was free to do a few of the things he'd always wanted to, one of which was getting a private pilot's licence. He bought an old Stinson 108-2 and learned to fly it.
.....
The story about a prisoner supplying details of a location turned out to be a red herring. The police excavated the site and nothing was found.
It also turned out that there is a very dodgy international black market in helicopter parts ... it doesn't take much imagination to see why. Poor old Dave had no idea, he thought he was investing in a legitimate business.
One of the police officers involved told me they had quite a few "spinoffs" from the case, including discovering somebody taking bribes to provide false C of A's. A bit worrying, if you live under a flight path.
Helicopters ? Just say no !

Dave Martin always had a fascination for vintage technology.
When I moved to London to work for him, I stayed in his spare room for a couple of weeks while I found a place to live.
Most of the space was taken up with an impressive collection of vintage radio sets and a magnificent pair of Klipsch corner horns. Other items of note were a very early RCA compression driver, and an EV 643 Cardiline microphone that was about 7 feet long and could be dismantled into several sections to fit in its transit case.
His home hi-fi was a pair of Quad ESL63's, correctly positioned halfway down his large living room. And his radio bench was equipped with an old National HRO as well as a Racal RA17.
