G Wellum still lives down the road in Mullion,and he should write an account about testing typhoons whilst on a “rest”.

I met up with Geoff Wellum about 4 years ago in the Mullion Cove Hotel and we had lunch (in exchange for his signature on my copy of ‘First Light’). As one might expect, a very lovely old gent who even in his mid-80’s could still knock back a pint with gusto!

My Dad (very) occasionally sees him in Helston doing his shopping.
