Having trouble finding the right words
Had the priviledge of Geoffs company when he stayed at Ganmain during his visit down under. I remember him saying it was "the flattest god dam piece of country" he'd ever seen.
I will miss him and I hope our little community he worked tirelessly to create, survives and thrives. His memory will live on through this wonderful, special little optic fibre world of ours....... I realise he often said he was born a generation too late, but i'm sure as heck glad he did live in this one or MLU may never have exisited. He has a wonderful legacy ...... I'll always think of him whenever I visit here. Farewell Geoff

What a shock
I do enjoy MLU so much and have really appreciated the effort put in by Geoff to keep it going.
My sincere condolences to Geoffs family. Ken

I never had the privilege of meeting Mr Winnington-Ball, but having seen plenty of his work on the site and elsewhere, and having read the tributes already written, I feel like I've certainly missed a truly great man. Thank you sir; and to use a naval expression, fair winds and following seas to you! I offer my sincere condolences to his family and those close to him.

Crap; I go away one weekend with no computer, and this happens. What a shocker, although he was noticeably absent the last few weeks.
The Canadian Mil Veh collecting fraternity will always owe a debt of gratitude to Geoff for providing us with this meeting place, and hopefully the the MLU will survive as his legacy.
