With sadness and shock we have to report the death of Dave Wyatt.

​

Dave was one of the stalwarts in the Sons of the Desert. I first met him in 1975 at a film collectors' convention in London. We had a lot in common, especially our love of Laurel and Hardy. Dave invited me to write for a film collectors' magazine which he was setting up and our paths entwined ever since, both of us ending up currently as regular contributors to The Perry Winkle magazine.

​

Dave's achievements were legendary, as a film historian, author and film collector extraordinary. I photographed him (above) at the Sons UK Convention in May 2018, when he screened the newly discovered reel of The Battle of the Century.

​

We will miss Dave enormously.
