We knew him on the forum as KD. His real name was David Cheetham.

Would like to let everyone know that David passed away last night following a battle with cancer.

Our sincere sympathies to Beryl, his wife, and all of David’s family.

Regards

Derek & Maggie

Another cast iron legend passes, condolences to his family.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd
