Agree Peter, totally agree. I first came to this site in the "olden days" and Tim's name goes all the way back to the halcyon days of airliners.net. He has stuck with the site through every high and low it has experienced and emerged each time with his head held high.
To those who have been associated with this site since its conception it is sad to see a crew member such as Tim leave.
Tim, we haven't always agreed but you have always had my respect. Your images are among the more instantly recognisable here and your forum persona is one I am envious of. As a relative youngster yourself I trust you'll wear the "old" badge we're awarding you with pride. You have served this community in an exemplary manner, you will be sorely missed.
I hope that you'll one day visit Australia, I would happily shout you a beer any time.
Enjoy your retirement "old" fella.
