A MESSAGE FROM OUR BLOG FRIEND KEN HOLT

I'm sure a few of you are aware that our pal Ken Holt has been a little under the weather lately and is spending a little time in hospital. Well, Ken took the trouble to contact me from his hospital bed would you believe, via video messenger, and the good news so far is he's stable, and in good spirits, and he just wanted to thank everyone and say how he really appreciates all the good wishes friends have sent him.




 All the best, and get well soon, mate. 

 Here's the often seen photos of Ken during his Century 21 days, on the UFO set with special effects maestro, Derek Meddings.
  

Here's Ken and Derek in the rocket assembly building miniature used in 'Doppelganger'.

 And just for good measure here's a photo of Ken's former C21 secretary, Roni. 

Update: Sadly, Ken passed away on Sunday 2/12/2018. Our sincere condolences to his wife, Betty, and the family.

 I was lucky enough to met up and chat with Ken at various conventions. He was a lovely man, and an unsung hero of the industry, and I was, albeit briefly glad to know you sir.

    I wish Ken a speedy recovery Scoop and hope he gets back to doing his favourite stuff as soon as possible. Cheers Ken, Woodsy

    As I say, Woodsy, our Ken was in fine spirits, we even had a laugh about how I was holding the phone video camera too close which made the top of my head look like a coconut (or maybe that's what I actually look like!) : D
