Default sketchley kid

Reading through an old thread I noticed ‘sketchley kid’ (Brian) has not been online since September 2021. Prior to then he’d been a fairly regular contributor.

Know from previous posts he had joined the RAC in 1945 so was in his 90s.

Hope he’s ok, has anyone heard from him?

Brin is a regular contributor to various Facebook badge groups...I've seen him posting in the last week.

Thanks Paul. That’s good news that he’s still active and just maybe on a bit of a break from the forum.

Perhaps Brin finds FB more active than here, I think he mods a badge group there. He has posted within the last few hours

This website is a thousand times more knowledgable.

From just briefly perusing that site, I would say this is an understatement!
