 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Hi guys Heard some sad news today from Pete. Phil Mann passed away last weekend. Phil was a active member on the forum and gave a great deal to the windmill community. His development of the aluminium GOE222 blades and turbine furling systems earned him a lot of respect from his peers. Over the last few years he's struggled with a few health concerns but still managed to build and develop wind turbines in his workshop at home. I last saw Phil over a year ago, he spent a couple days at my place and we ate Chinese, McDonalds, drank ginger beer and spent the day driving around the new Coopers Gap wind farm. He'll be missed.  Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

I'm truly saddened to hear. I never met him, but like many here, enjoyed reading his posts, and seeing his projects. Clearly he was a very skilled; a talented builder. If you should communicate with any family members, please convey our condolences. And, thank you for sharing. ~ks |
