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.

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
