Wink Geoff Manning Party

Our esteemed, intellectual, funloving, great humoured colleague and mentor Geoff Manning is retiring from Air Contractors as Flight Engineer very soon after many many years on all Hunting Cargo /ACL/DHL/EAT/FPO etc routes.

His party is in Clarion Hotel Dublin Airport on Friday 13th June commencing at 2000 hrs local.

Preferential rates available or group rate may be cheaper than company offered rates, I will find out.

ALL Welcome who worked with, drank with, listened to etc etc Geoff.

Finger! food may be available Hopefully we can have a good ole singsong as well. "Sweet Molly Malone" et al.

PM me if any queries.

Hogg

That will be 1 way Griffin from the DC6 days.
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?

Thanks Geoff

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.
