Dear Dipterists,

Peter Dyte sadly died at home last weekend. This was announced by John Muggleton at the BENHS Council meeting on Thursday. He was found by Richard Adams, a former colleague at the Slough Laboratory and a near neighbour, who regularly called on him. This was quite unexpected as he was not known to have anything physically wrong that might have been responsible. He was 82 earlier this year.

Please let anyone know who I have omitted from this distribution and could those at museums please inform any colleagues who might have known him.

A provisional date for the funeral is 18 July and John will let me know when the date has been confirmed.

Best wishes,

Peter Chandler
