It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our highly regarded colleague Rik Arthur Taylor (aka ‘spadge’) after a lengthy fight with cancer.

Born 18 April 1950, Rik joined SAE in 1996 and transferred to Studios 301 in March 1999. Rik was the mainstay of the 301 wiring team from that time and the quality of his work is legendary.

We will all miss him terribly no one more than his partner Tina and son Michael.

Rik’s funeral will be held at Mackay Funerals, Palmdale at 2PM on Wednesday 30 September.
