dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Geoff (boy) Wellum was a lovely guy. I met him at Goodwood a few years ago. A real gentleman and his passing will be greatly mourned. Geoffrey and Jodie Kidd taken at Goodwood during the Battle of Britain 75th anniversary event. Link to post Share on other sites
