Sorry to hear of Bruce'' passing - I shared a couple of years (1970s) travelling with Bruce through Europe and overland in a VW combie right through Africa - without Bruce we would have been stuck in the Sahara desert or elsewhere. Memories also of Bruce haymaking in England using a pitch fork to lift bales on to a trailer- not a big guy but he never gave up. My condolences and my partner Lee Kimber to all family and friends. Rest in peace Bruce.
