[DOG mailing list] John Viney

[Ian Mc Phee]

Notice nothing said on AUSsoaring but John Viney passed away yesterday.  I
gather earlier in week he had a knee operation & assume something did not
go to plan & was moved to another hospital.  He was only 66 or 67 years
old. These operations seem common place these days &  thus you do not
expect to loose somebody.

I found him very helpful in his years in Airworthiness GFA.

A sad loss & especially the circumstances

Also John Ashford passed away earlier in year,  John often being a standin
in Airworthiness with GFA.  There was a lot of knowledge now lost permantly
with the passing of those two.

Thanks for the advice. Ian I was shocked to read it. As you said, far too young.

JV was always so helpful on technical issues re the Dimona and the depth of his 
knowledge was evident in every comment. A sad loss to both the gliding movement 
and to the members of this forum.

Really sad.  I met John a few mths ago. He took me out to take a look at his 
Dimona at Wirribee.  His wife's health was not too good so I hope she is OK

Really sorry to hear this from Nigel yesterday.

John was a great friend and mentor.

He spent a week with me a few years ago changing the hoses in the Stemme.   
I’ll miss him.  Clipsal in Adelaide won’t be the same without his visit.
