Red Leader, down but not out ....... the boys home .....
 
As this will become common knowledge in the next few days I thought I would post this message to save anyone any undue worry ...

Whilst in France Red Leader (Kevin) was involved in a serious RTA along with Fraser his best mate.

I really don't want to go into detail as I'm still finding it all quite difficult to come to terms with as the car involved only missed me by about 6 inches ...

Kevin and Fraser have both had a very luck escape and Kevin has a bruised and blackened eye and a broken rib, Fraser has a compressed vertebrae, both are fully functioning and have been on their feet today.

I have only just arrived home after a gruelling 550 mile solo slog.

The boys are hopefully being shipped home tomorrow or Weds by their insurers and are in good spirits sharing a room in the same hospital.

I hope you will join me in wishing them all the best.

What everyone else has said mate - chin up. They'll pull through and it's good to see that their insurance company's are sorting them out.

GWS to both of them and take it easy Dibs.

Dementor 16-May-2005 21:23

Sorry to hear the news Dibs. Glad to hear Kevin & M8 are not seriously hurt, which is the main thing.
GWS.
