Miles Wilkins FGS still going?

Is Miles Wilkins still going? I passed by his place a couple of weeks back in Yapton. It was a Sunday morning so obviously closed. Place had a lot of fencing up and a big sign 'FOR DEVELOPMENT'. Is he expanding or a take over? Hope the fellas still going. Lovely chap. Always has a story to tell.

Fairly sure he's retired and the plot will be new houses before long I'm afraid mate.

Who bought all his stock then? SJ? Legend told of pallets of Federal S1 Esprit parts sat rotting away because he wanted too much for them.

I used to visit when he was still at Charlton Sawmills - he seemed to have lots of valuable stuff (original Elites) in very rickety sheds in a rural location  -  Always an interesting experience to chat to Miles  (a man of strong opinion!)

He has retired from restoration work but continues to sell parts.
