Geoff “Chunky” Goodall…
I had the utmost pleasure of getting to know Geoff in France and then working with him in Australia.
His gentle “abuse” of thank you very much in ?French initially confused and then charmed every French person he met.
His story telling made totally believable by his aviation knowledge, experience and sincerity was legendary. The humility, self deprecation and recognition that the road to hell is paved with good intentions in Geoff’s telling of “No slot time Narita” made this one of the funniest and humorous aviation narratives I’ve ever heard. Glad I heard it first in my early forties, my bladder would indeed not cope these days…
Geoff, say G’day to Phil and let him know “Le canard, though stuffed, flies on…….” I know you will pardon my franglais
A good bottle of French red will be consumed tonight in fond memories of Geoff (and Phil.)
TAAATS on tour!
RIP
