Sad news today that Trevor died peacefully in hospital after a long illness. Trevor was a Chelsea S. S. member during the 1980's and we had many fine trips up in Wales usually picking the keys up from Arthur Millett and staying at Whitewalls. Trev and I got to the sump in Daren Cilau not long after the extensions were found. It was an epic thirteen hour trip and I was well gone on. Trev's quiet pursuation kept me going. We were carry two knife cells each. Digging at the end of Priory Road I got stuck nearly upsidedown. During my panic session Trev said " I will go and have a fag while you calm down then help " For a few years Trev was an outward bound instructor with the police. He loved that job . He got a life saving award for trying to rescue a cadet who had fallen into the sea. He was a qualified yacht rigger and excellant seaman. I tought him to dive with his son Julian. We went out on his catamaran which had a habit of beaking down. I was never worried as Trevor could fix anything. When the police cadet job finished he returned to the beat as a pc but never liked it. His final days in the force was as custody officer as he liked dealing with people and could diffuse any difficult situation. Seen here with my great mate the late Pete Rose in The Time Machine 1988.
