Met Andy only once and by chance at one of my visits to LB. We chatted as I'd overheard that he'd had a recent procedure and wished him well with his recovery. He replied in a very matter of fact way that his condition was terminal! He seemed a genuinely very friendly guy as others have confirmed and so sad to hear that his condition has taken him too soon from his family and friends.
Condolences to Carol and Family, you can expect something as much as you want & it is still a shock. It will be impossible, thankfully to forget Andy's fantastic smile, what a lovely bloke.
The level of his Stratos is near impossible to match & a huge credit to Andy as he has created something that may well out last us all.
Rest in peace Andy.
Just logged on when I saw this sad news, I did pop up to see Andy a few times and was amazed at the amount of medication he had to take !.... He wanted to build his Hawk Stratos HIS way and was making a great job of it, probably the first car with a sequential box ?... along with other unique parts.
Great bloke who will be missed, condolences go to Carol and his family

I first met Andy at Chatsworth in 2007, he’d never been in a Stratos so I drove him to John Hinchcliffe’s house. We’ve met up at various events since then and have had many conversations regarding his build. I’m so sad I won’t get to see him behind the wheel of his car.
I have so much admiration for the way Andy battled his illness and am extremely grateful to him for taking the time to give me support when I was going through chemo.
Jules and I send our condolences to Carol and the wider family. X
