Hi all – just a quickie to thank all those who came and supported us last night – good to meet some fellow forumites and talk wings n things (and left handed grimble thromlets)
We raised a good sum for both Sywell Aviation Museum and Merlins Over Malta – thanks also to Ken Ellis -aka The Aviation Ayatollah for kindly giving up his spare time to support us!
Proper Job!
Cheers all

No – thank you – its YOUR hard work which deserves to be supported! Cheque in the post 1st thing monday Glenn – is it ok to send it to the same address as for the Jag comp?

I’d like to thank you guys and Ken for the donation to Merlins Over Malta.
It’s very much appreciated.

Oh and you’ll be delighted to know Ellis’s boys DIDN’T nick me wheels… 😉
KE – if you’re browsing (‘cos you said you do from time to time 😉 ), thanks very much for the informative talk. And the slides. Of Lightnings. In South Africa. Air to Air.
I’m not jealous in any way. 🙁

Thanks guys – a pleasure! Would be great to see you there – just hope you’re not too underwhelmed! You must let me know if you’re coming and I’ll try and meet you to give you the full sp (theres not much of an sp but a full one you shall have!)
The other thing which came out of the talk which I was a little surprised at was the actual COST of running this forum – from what I understand the lawyers’ (fine upstanding chaps obviously) costs are pretty heavy – presumably in warning off erm…libellous comments etc – so next time the ‘thought police’ wade in (not my expression) I will certainly be a bit more aware that the reason is often for the good of the forum – ie to keep it open for us aviation types to blather on to each other about all things Bernoulli….

TT – many thanks for organising the night, and also for holding court in the bar afterwards. Left handed grimble thromlets indeed… 😀
Would it be considered bad form of me to shamelessly plug the fact that your Sywell Museum opens to the public again on Easter Sunday?
Oops, too late, already done it… 😉

Thanks for a very interesting event.
Will definitely return on Easter Weekend when the museum re-opens.
