RIP John Philipp

[Graham Smith]

Today we say goodbye to long-term South London and North Kent Section Member, John Philipp who sadly passed away a few weeks ago. John and his late wife Rose served the Club as Overseas Membership Secretaries. Additionally, John was one of two VOC Members who saved the Works Records from ending up in a skip back in the 1960s. We have a lot to thank John for. Photo courtesy: Dick Sherwin.

There was a fantastic turn-out of bikes (mainly Vincents) to escort John on his final ride.

Hopefully someone (@ray vinmad or @delboy ?) counted all the bikes?

There were 9 Vincents & 4 others in JP's escort, including Clem representing the Laverda Club & a full chapel with around 10 standing.

I have just posted some photographs that I took yesterday of John arriving at the South London Section's meeting place for his final ride.
