Sad news about an SEr

Post by simon » Sat Nov 12, 2016 9:25 pm

I'm really sad to have to post this but Phil Arscott (PhilA) has passed away. It was very sudden and unexpected and he was only in his early 40s.
I'm not sure how many people will have met him, he owned a yellow 111R probably about 10 years ago now but was still active on here as he loved a good debate!

RIP Phil :cry:

So sorry to hear this Simon.

I only met Phil once, at the RAF Leuchars tour, when he still had his yellow 111R, nice unassuming guy.

Genuine shock, as he was only posting here earlier this week.

RIP Phil :cry:

Really sorry to hear, as Ross said Phil was only posting the other day about how much he was looking forward to driving again.

RIP Phil.

Jeeze. Also sorry and shocked to hear this.
I had my yellow 111r at the same time and we had a bit of banter about that over the years.
We were also friends on FB and chatted away regularly there.

RIP Phil :(

Sad news indeed, thoughts with his family. SE will miss him.
