Leif will be sorely missed, not only by me personally and by all of his friends in this small community, but by the hobby as a whole.

I began this site with nothing but a few ideas quite literally drawn on the back of a fag packet, prompted simply by boredom during a period away from work and Leif immediately injected life into it, he gave it a whole new dimension.

His passion, dedication and enthusiasm were powerful. His knowledge strong and his integrity unquestionable. He has made this place somewhere we can all be proud to be and this spirit and strength is something which will always continue in his memory.

These traits didn't just extend to his hobbies but to his life as a whole. He was extremely proud of his family and his love for his wife and young son were so obviously visible. I offer my sincerest condolences to them both.

You'll be missed so very much mate, I'm proud to have had the chance to know you.

I am shocked to hear about Leif's passing. Without any doubt he meant an awful lot to many flightsimmers across the world including myself. I will miss his contributions here and at other sites of importance and would like to thank him for all his efforts.

My condolences go to his family, friends and all who knew him.

Leif R.I.P.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to Leifs wife, son and relatives...........................
I was shocked and sad to read the topik, I have been absent from CBF/BritSim formonths and just feel tonight to visit this site.

I knew Leif as a warm and very kind friend! He help me a lot in starting flights using Flynet/FSAirline client and even gave a favorite aircraft for free several years ago.
He even suggested to form a Indonesian VHA and with his permission setup an own website...........VIVA. Due to real live activities it was not going as expected.
We have at that time several F28 textures using "Virtual Indonesia Airlines" names.

Rest in peace Leif!!!
We all miss u friend!

I had some great support from Leif over sound files. I wondered why I had not heard from him over the last 14 days, I just put it down to him being busy with all the FS stuff going on that he cared about so much.

An impossible act to follow, God rest Leif.

I too am saddened by the passing of Leif. I was really grateful for his encouragement in posting info on the Gloster Meteor T Mk7 restoration at Kemble. Thanks old friend R.I.P.

I am a new poster here to the site so I unfortunately did not get the opportunity to talk to and work with Leif, but by the responses and posts this was a good man. I would like to offer my condolences as a member of the flightsim community, to his family and friends on this great loss.

It makes me take stock of life too, as he was 6 years older than me. May you rest in peace Leif, I am one surely to miss your presence here. May you soar and fly in the afterlife as you soared here in the present.

Regards
Andrew Brown

That is sad to hear

a little late now but my condolences to his family and friends.
