This is very sad news indeed. June and I knew Martin right from the early days when we were putting together the idea which later became TARS, He was always such a quiet and unassuming chap but his fund of knowledge about Ransome and the Backwaters was second to none. Martin, I'm sure, knew more about Secret Water than even Ransome! I am sure I speak for all the East Anglian TARS when I say he will be sadly missed by us all and I salute him with a final KARABADANGBARAKA1
