Farewell, Noble Gent!
Being fairly new to MLU, I sadly did not get opportunity to know Mr Winnington-Ball personally. That being said, I certainly knew of him. I knew of him because he was considered a most knowledgable and eminent military vehicle enthusiast, who was, and still is, held in very high regard by those who knew him, and joined him in his passion for the vehicles that played such an important role in shaping the outcome of conflict and therefore the world.
I feel so terribly sad for the family of Mr Winnington-Ball, and hope they will get some small comfort in the knowledge that we share in their grief, albeit from a distance. With the passing of such a gentleman, I feel a little cheated that I will never have the chance to communicate with him, or hear his thoughts, or ask his advice. So FAREWELL OLD SOLDIER, the flag is flying at half mast. If I had a Canadian flag it would be flying, but I hope the Australian flag will surfice. After all, we fought side by side, and our countries stood united together. The same way we are now united in grief of your loss.  LEST WE FORGET

We were privileged to have Geoff attend the 28th Annual GPA Swim-In and Ex-Military Vehicle Gathering at Corowa in March 2007. Here is a picture taken by Keith Webb. The Committee and members of Khaki Vehicle Enthusiasts Incorporated send our condolences to Geoff's family.

Hi all - what devastating news. We have lost one of our great community leaders. MLU was and still will be the best interactive militaria site going. I know Jif will be watching from on high. Horroo buddy and our condolances.
Just for the memory, a pose with Jif at the 2007 Corowa meet. Ada & Salesman Bob

My sincere condolances to Geoff's family. He was a true pioneer in setting up his site Maple Leaf Up, and Forum dedicated to military vehicles. He will be missed but his presence will live on.
