It is with sadness and regret that I note the death of Mike Dixon, an active member of the collectSPACE community since 2003. Per a message received today from his wife, Mike died peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of June 22, 2022. He was 67.

A resident of Australia who lived near Melbourne, Mike had worked in the field of air transport and "became fascinated with space after watching the Apollo 8 broadcast from the moon."

Mike collected NASA lithographs and had a near complete collection. He also had examples of nearly every Apollo-era autopen and was keen to share his knowledge in identifying them with others.

Mike will be missed here and on behalf of the entire collectSPACE membership and readership, I extend our condolences to his family and friends.

This is sad. I used to talk to Mike over the phone. He was a great resource but a better friend.

This is unbelievably sad and totally unexpected news today. Mike and I have corresponded on a regular basis and have assisted each other with our respective collections. We had a lot in common, each having a background in commercial aviation, and a shared fondness for spaceflight history. I'm still in shock, and send my sincere condolences to his good wife Laurel (who also has a deep interest in space history) and his family and friends.
