That Spitfire MH434 charity book idea hasn’t gone away.
I’ve been working away on costings, concepts etc. I’m pleased to be able to say we have a publisher, and a plan, and I’m happy to share some of the information next week. Mark12 and I have met, and we have more details to sort, but it’s looking good!
In the meantime, those that pledged help, could you please PM me with an e-mail address, so I can set up a off board group. Please indicate if you wish your e-mail to remain anonymous from the (small, select!) group, or if you are happy to share. If you would like to help, or comment, but don’t want to be part of the group, then please PM me as well.
The idea, for those that don’t know is to raise funds for the Macindoe burns unit at East Grinstead in memory of Mark Hanna, and (secondly) to produce the best book on MH434 – the world’s most famous Spitfire.
By all means post thoughs etc here, but I will be making a statement of what CAN be done on Monday, which will be open for discussion. In the meantime –
Don’t just yell… SCRAMBLE!

Thanks Laharve,
Apologies for the silence, I’m hoping to announce the next stage in the next couple of days (now that’s done it!) so stay tuned…
Ever realised how long it takes to print out a seven page thread with pictures?
Cheers

And Bump again.
Many, many thanks for those that have PMed me, and appologies to those who have not (yet) recived a reply. There will be replies to all very soon, but I’m organising the logistis at the moment.
To those who felt they have nothing to offer, but send their best wishes – actually, there WILL be quite an important thing for people to do; anyone interested CAN help; more soon, but do PM or post here if you are interested in helping.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers

Bump.
Thanks to those who’ve responded with PMs. I’m raising this to the top again, so the weekday working crew can have a look. Anyone who’s said they’d like to help, but have not sent me a PM, please do so ASAP. You’ll be able to tell your Grandchildren about this one!
Cheers
