Status Quo

[needles 1,013]

The year appears to not have finished taking yet.

Rik Parfitt has passed away in hospital in Spain after a serious infection.

I'll  be glad when this year is out.

Marie and I met Rick some years ago when we were working at Booker Airfield. Marie was manning the museum shop whilst I was out in the hangar cleaning an aircraft down. I saw Rick come through the door and go into the shop so went over to say Hello, It would seem he was looking for a leather jacket of which we had several for sale. Unfortunately for Rick all of them were in pristine condition  and he wanted something that looked more "distressed." We had a brief chat about general stuff and then he left. At which point Marie turned to me and said, " He looked familiar but I can't place him."  I then replied ,"well you ought to know him, you're always asking if we have any Quo, you just did! That was Rick Parfitt!"  You should have seen the look on her face!  To this day I have no idea what he was at Booker for , but it's an encounter I've never forgotten.
