What a group we were at one time...Bruce, Geoff, myself, Brian (BCA), Zdneck (Wo ist mein Kaffee?,) Frank (Polskie Ogorkie.), Nick Webb, ex RSM-R Regt C-RIP_, Frank von Rosenstiel aka "Boxhead", Bob Bundy, Ted Dentay, and Ross Williams who Bruce Parker just jolted my memory about.
Fearless jab jumps from a Beech 18 or an off the strut one thousand, two thousand ........... blossom! ....and PLF... Daisy chain and back to the shed.

It was 15 years ago today that MLU founder Geoff passed away.
It is well worth a read through this thread to learn about him. I'm still grateful he created MLU and that others (thank you Hanno and Shawn) have carried on to make it what it is today. Brian

Brian, absolutely. MLU has been a place not only to enshrine the historic and memorial aspect of the hobby, but to bring people together from all corners of the world and all walks of life.
Personally, I have met many wonderful people along the way and consider many of us as a loose knit family of sorts (as dysfunctional as that may be…) Its fellows like yourself and Geoff who saw enthusiasm and potential in guys like me when I first started out. Now look where I’m at. Neck deep as can be, every day yearning to know more, find more and do more. If I can ask a favour to any of our breathren out there, please do you part to encourage our youth to keep things going. Mentor them, assist them, encourage them. Not only for us but for the generations of servicemen that sacrificed for us.

Hello Brian, thanks for reminding us. 15 years ago already, time sure flies!
Am glad too for what Geoff started, and am honoured to keep on carrying the torch he lit...
