I've just been informed that Fred Ivey, the well known photographer of LT railways and road vehicles for many, many years has sadly passed away aged 98. Fred was a Bevin Boy during WWII and started photography during this time. He took photos of trams, trolleybuses, buses and railways during the War too. He was instrumental in saving London trolleybus 260 which now resides in the East Anglian Trolleybus Museum and has a street named after him there. A volunteer at the LT Museum and Bluebell Railway many years too. I knew Fred for many years, from his time as a Station Inspector, then Station Manager on the MET, to his time on the LURS Committee, hosting meetings at his flat in Wembley. Sadly Covid-19 took its toll on Fred's daily outings for photography trips all over the South East and had to enter hospital for a time and ended up in a care home in recent years. RIP Fred, sadly missed. - Fred in his own words: www.ltmuseum.co.uk/collections/collections-online/sound-recordings/item/2010-123Fred Ivey ©LT Museum

I never knew Fred personally, but I did know of him as I've seen some of his film footage. Far better than mine - especially the footage I took in my early years.
Now I see a photograph of him I realise that I met him a few times. I just did not know that it was him.
RIP Fred
