Mike Ebeling, rest in peace

[Ian McCallum]

James,

I had heard via another Ford enthusiast of Mike's passing, such a loss.

I first got to know Mike in the early '90s as we shared a common interest in Canadian built vehicles. We became closer friends, sharing a beer, laughs and a tape measure during a number of W&P events during the restoration of his WOA2, as he used my then WOA2A as his 'template' for a number of requirements.

His work on both the WOA1 and WOA2, not forgetting the Otter and Lynx was exceptional and his skills will be sadly missed in the restoration world.

RIP Mike, it was a honour to know you

A sort of "Then & Now" of Mike's Otter:

Derek Gardner: Sorting old photos out and found some from the South Sea D-Day show 1984 not sure who owns this one now
