I used to have to come and fix up your inability to control the manifold pressures in the descent on the 6.
Give Geoff my regards, I remember over doing it on the Stellas with him at the Brussels airport Hilton back in July 1992.
Guess who?

Tall orange collar.

Hello All who attend

Please say hi and bye to Geoff from the ex Raf FE who left in Aug last year for the Canadian Northern wilderness.
When I visit in July I will call him and try and catch up.

Once again thanks Geoff for all your help, both professionally and socially.(hic!!) Those of you who know him will know what I mean.

Manning - dreadful fellow! Shared many a grog with him and generally came out worst. Profits at The Oak dropped by 50% whenever he was away.
Happy retirement, Geoff, wherever you are.
