Geoff was noted for his gathering and writing up the history of many Australian aircraft and a number of other aircraft types from both local and overseas as well. He also maintained an extensive listing of Warbird aircraft from around the world.
Geoff's passing leaves a large hole in the ranks of aviation historians and enthusiasts. He will not be forgotten.
Geoff was a truly fine fellow ATC and was responsible for chronicling aviation history and publishing same.
He will be missed and I’m proud to have known him.
RIP
