To Leanne and all of yours and Michael’s loving family my heart breaks for your loss of such a unique character. Whenever I was at a function or conference with you guys Michael would have me cracking up with his witty humor. A one of a kind and sadly the best are always taken too young. Forever young, Michael will always be. Xxx

Big Pincher - A world without your beaming smiling face will be very difficult to accept mate. You were a true gentleman, the consummate professional naval aviator and above all a bloody great bloke. These were the attributes that attracted people to you and that made you the strong leader that you were. You will be sorely missed mate....RIP

Michael (Pincher) is remembered as TAS Junior Sailor, a Birdy and and a Civvy. He was renown as a mischievous rascal, a handful for senior sailors but always he had a good heart. He was a pleasure to have in the TAS crew and when ashore.
Sixty One is still too young for a fun loving Sailor to cross the bar. He will be missed.
Our Sympathies are with the family and near friends . May you all have a calm passage on this, his latest voyage.
David and Ellen Shine

Michael John Martin, or Big Pincher to his mates,
A father, a brother, an uncle, a son,
Now you’re at those pearly gates
“An officer and a gentleman” “a lovely man” they say
I can’t believe you’ve gone mate, way to soon you’ve passed away
“Jimmy Bond you OD, get em in your shout”
“Yes Chief” was the answer back, never was a doubt
Joined the Navy as a young bloke, a UC you became,
Saw the light saw the gold and put some wings above your name,
Changed over to the dark side, put some stripes upon your shoulder,
But you always were a Crewy, always wiser, never older
“A lovely man gone to soon” these words echo in my mind, well Big Pinch I have to say, you were truly “one of a kind”
Stand down Big Pinch, we have the con, Rest In Peace old mate, I’m sure I’ll hear “Jimmy Bond your shout” when it’s my turn at the gate.
R.I.P

I wish I had the photo of my departure from HC 723 Squadron as Senior Observer in 1988. All the Aircrewmen contributed to my fairwell gift of a female stripper. The photo shows all of us with the young lady. Would not happen these days. A heartfelt gesture that was truly appreciated by us all.

We are so sorry to hear the sad news of Michael’s death. We have such fond happy memories of both Big and Little Pinch and the football team at The ‘Tross in the 80s. Our heartfelt condolences to John, Helen, Andrew and all the family at this awful time.
Crossing The Bar
Sunset and evening star and one clear call for me,
And may there be no moaning of the bar when I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep, too full for sound or foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell and after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell when I embark,
For tho’ from out our Bourne of time and place the flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face when I have crost the bar.
