Much appreciated for starting the thread. Derek Meddings was good friends with Roger Moore. Moore wrote the forward for the tribute book called Special Effects Superman (it focused on his FX career in the films) that was released after Meddings death. Was told that his funeral was a who's who of the British FX industry. Some of his children went on to careers in makeup and special effects and has worked on the Bond films.

A little tribute to him can be found on the gantry (see red oval) from the film Casino Royale.
