Sad News
Copied from the ASRA web site.

Geoff Henley-Smith passed away in hospital Saturday after a short illness.

We are all going to miss him and his fine rotors very much !!:(:(

Re: Sad News
I was speaking to another member this morning who informed me of Jeff's passing. Very sad indeed.

Re: Sad News
After I saw Rotor's post I went trawling through all my photos. I have about a million pictures of the all great machines Jeff has built, but not many of the man himself.

Here is one... doing what he did best...

Re: Sad News
Bugger, I will miss Jeff for debating issues and his rotors for flying.

Being selfish I hope he has taught someone to make rotors.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Aussie Paul.
