For 15 years, until his death, he worked with his partner and copy typist, Sandra J.C. Tassell.
He died suddenly, in 1981, immediately before publication of his book on the Deltic. His last book, on the diesel locomotives of Armstrong Whitworth, was completed in manuscript in 1979, however it was not finally published for another thirty years.[1]
