Default Death of Cedric Roberts MBE

Thank you to Will and David for passing on this sad news. Cedric was a
valued contributor to this group. His series of articles about the
winter of 1946-7 was especially fascinating, and I still have them saved
on my own PC.


I am adding to this post as it was Cedric's articles on that winter of 1947
which I found so enthralling (saved to my PC as well). I have only just
returned to my house, but did hear the sad news when someone kindly texted
it to me earlier this afternoon. Whilst Cedric may have been officially
classed as an amateur observer, his contribution to observations and his
narrative were of the highest order. He is the sort of person our subject
will dearly miss.

My thoughts are with his family.
