Passed Actors from UFO

Some members have asked for a sort of commemorative
illustration for the terrible loss of Michael Billington
and Ed Bishop (in order of passing)
In the previous post,I was mentioning to Amelia about
how I should go about such an illustration and how I would
rather depict Ed Bishop's character of Ed Straker,as a
respect for his family's privacy.

Naturally,these words apply equally to Michael Billington.
They could be illustrated arriving in the next life
together, but this timing would not have been correct.
With Ed Bishop the most recently deceased, I thought
the illustration should be from "Ed Straker's" point of view.

Also, I have compiled a list of actors who have passed
away that have been on UFO, either as regulars or in guest roles.
The list I have (in no particular order)is as follows
(other than Ed and Mike)

Norma Ronald
Alexis Kanner
Harry Baird
Grant Taylor
Vladek Sheybal

Can anybody let me know if there are any others so they can
be included in the illustration.
Please allow a few weeks for this drawing to be done, as I
will try and do my best with it.

Kevin.

I think it may be a bit much to include guest actors --
I'd say that there are probably a *lot* of UFO guest
actors who have passed away...

Marc,
I hate to mention it but you forgot to include Maxwell Shaw who played
Dr. Shroeder who passed away in the early 90's.

Not sure if he qualifies as a regular or guest, but there is Paul
Maxwell (died 1991 aged 70) who was another member of the Dial-a-Yank
brigade of actors in the UK. In his commentary for Subsmash, Ed speaks
fondly of Paul.

Shaw) played Dr Schroeder.

David Warbeck, the un-named skydiver captain in 'Destruction'
and 'Reflections in the water' passed away in the late 90's. Also the
actor who played Lt. Chin in 'Subsmash' and the alien in 'The square
triangle' has gone, I think. Another one is Gary Myers, another
skydiver captain in 'Subsmash' and 'Ordeal' may have died, although
this might be wrong. Some years ago he suffered from a brain tumour,
but it might not have been fatal.

Did anyone confirm that Peter Gordeno is no longer with us?

Thanks for that,one I missed.
He can replace Alexis Kanner who was only in one episode
as was Paul Maxwell.
As Marc suggested,there could be quite a few guest actors
from UFO who have passed away, so I had better keep it to
the regular/semi-regular UFO artists who have left us.
