Geoff Haywood
1944 to 2022I sadly have to inform you that Geoff passed away last week .
Geoff was a long time member of MMFC who joined the club back in the 1970's shortly after it was formed.
Back then it was all control line flying as Radio was far too expensive for most club flyers . Geoff's interests in RC fling was mainly sport model but in later years he would generally turn up with a vintage model with a vintage diesel engine for an afternoons flying.
Geoff always enjoyed the vintage and FF days at Harty ferry site '
He was a great supporter of the club always making sure his subs were payed even if he wasn't well enough to get to the field and writing brilliant supporting letters when we applied for Cert of Lawful Use for our Stickfast site.
Geoff would often give us a laugh with some of his work related stories and
I had many pleasant flying sessions with Geoff including a very long walk to get a Free Flight {RC} model back ! yes the radio wasn't switched on .Pic below is of Geoff having a pint and probably sharing a joke in the main Hangar at the 2002 nationals .
Our thoughts are with his family and wife Linda
He will be sadly missed
