Oh my , oh my.. It always makes me sad when I hear about another rifleman passing away. He was a true black mafia man.

My condolences to all who knew him and his family.

Had the pleasure of knowing Tony from when he was B coy 3RGJ. A top bloke with a great sense of humour, typically one of the lads. It's a very sad loss, sincere condolences to jo and family

Couldn't believe it when I read this sad news. Remember Tring with the biggest pair of DM boots in the world in the cookhouse in Cambridge and later in Germany with Recce.

Some great times and fond memories

So sorry to hear the sad news. I was Tony's 432 driver for one of the exercises while in Celle in 86. I remember an army photographer taking a photo of Tony and I on the 432, due to someone writing " The Terminator" in black marker pen below the drivers hatch. Great photo, unfortunatly I do not have it anymore.

It was a pleasure to have know Tony. RIP mate. Deepest condolences to Tony's Family.

The legend of lingy will forever live on, one of the funniest Rifleman I've ever had the privilege to serve with. Tony was a stereotypical 3RGJ man and will always be remembered for his hilarious exploits and care free attitude. A real loss to our Black and Green family. Swift and bold Tony Ling. My heart felt thoughts go to Tonys family.
