Harry Ratcliffe 1935 - 2016

Post by Pete »

Very sad to report the passing of one of the very last of the original A series tuning pioneers and a good pal on Sunday 21st February at the grand old age of 80. As many will know Harry had been suffering with dementia for quite some time, rest in peace mate.
