    R.I.P Dougie Melville

    Sad to report the recent passing of Dougie Melville, a member here since 2003, and a friend and colleague of mine. He was a delighted owner of one of the first original Dreadnoughts made by Eddie and a keen collector of Diving watches. A proud Scotsman, devotee of prog rock amd much much more. He will be missed hugely by his many colleagues, and a number of Hero references show he has had contact with more than a few of you.


    …if there’s another world he lives in bliss…

    Very sad to hear a member passing, especially a forum original held in high regard.

    RIP.

    Very sad news.

    Dougie was held in great esteem and always horrible to hear of the passing of one of our own.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Oh my that is sad news. I live quite close to him and popped around a few years ago to compare my Voyager with his as I thought mine had a problem. We had a good old chat and he showed me his watches too. RIP indeed.

    The gentleman never revealed his age but I believe he was about 63. Much too young.

    Been here a while but didn't recognise his name TBH (don't think he's been active for few years) but condolences to those on TZ who knew him

    I also don't recognise the username. That said, my heartfelt condolences to his family - another taken too early.
