JOHN ROBINSON

Well I just read the sad news on Planet Slot that John Robinson passed away from cancer. What a shame. I wrote to him just a few weeks ago as I am returning to the U.K. for a visit next month and was hoping to meet up with him while in Jersey. I suppose if it wasn't for him MRRC would have been consigned to the history books long ago when they closed down the old factory. Too bad he never got to see his beloved Cheetah produced.
Whenever I bought any vintage MRRC stuff off him he would always send at least double the amount of whatever it was. I think he did that with most people.
I really wish I could have met him...

Goodnight John, give my regards to Alban Adams.

Cheers.
