Bertie McK Davidson GM3ALZBertie McK Davidson GM3ALZ passed away suddenly on Thursday, 28th January 1999. Bertie had been a sergeant in the Royal Corps of Signals and after returning to civilian life, was one of the earliest members of the Society. He was elected as President on several occasions during the 1950s and in 1960. His contributions during this period and in subsequent years were acknowledged in 1968 when he was appointed to the office of Honorary Vice-President. He will be remembered as well for keeping proceedings in order at our monthly Members' Junk Sales where he acted as the auctioneer for about thirty years. Bertie was also very enthusiastic about field events and took every opportunity to champion the Society's participation in these. He presented the Society with the Davidson Cup for Construction, which is awarded periodically by the committee to encourage members to build their own equipment. The call sign GM3ALZ is still active on the bands. It is now held by Bertie's son-in-law, Fred Gordon. |
