Sorry to learn this.

Glyn was part of the group of local engine builders and tuners, together with Jon Mowatt and a few others including, modestly, myself (Felspeed).

Interesting, Jon was/is (Haven't seem him for quite a few years now) a distant cousin from my maternal grandmother's side of the family.

Reminds me of two long forgotten items; I nearly bought Glyn's dynamic crank balancer for my then rapidly expanding machine shop; but he changed his mind.

And the second memory, leaving Benfleet, Essex, where he was based, he threw his race car on the trailer and galloped off at high speed to Brands, Lydden, wherever. He never tied the cars down; couldn't be bothered. This time, however, the car did fall off; at speed.........

R I P Glyn.
