Hi
friends,
It really
is so good to be flying again, even though I've already had to miss one or two
opportunities due to family circumstances.
In his
excitement over his latest helicopter cabin paint job, our friend 'Viper' from
Brazil admits he got carried away a bit and used my ModelFlight
mailing list to show it around. Understandably, one or two folk were not too
happy about that and Viper has sent his sincere apologies for his
over-enthusiasm and promises he will not do it again - and my thanks for that,
Viper! To be honest, I didn't
realise it was possible, and although Viper's use of the list was harmless enough, I would not like to think my list could be used in such a way
for
less innocent reasons, so I have availed myself of a tip given me by Richard
Street to make it impossible
in the future. When you now get my reminder, you might note it is actually
addressed to myself, with 'blind carbon copies' to the mailing list which can no
longer be seen or accessed.
I was
beginning to think that contact with Australia had been lost when, within a
couple of days of each other, I received two e-mails from 'down under' (how do the Aussies
refer to us, I wonder - politely, I mean!). Norm Kirton's welcome letter is on 'post box' with news of their national championships and the promise of good
things to come, and it's good to welcome Marty Jarvis from Tasmania, whose club
I have featured on 'club scene'. To further enhance the antipodean interest
and flavour of this issue, 'cats corner' features a very nice little cottage
company from Brisbane who are producing a lovely range of Almost Ready to Cover
warbirds.
I hope you
like the two more unusual web sites I have featured on site
seeing - I found them both quite fascinating!
Regards to all,
