The Lightning Association

Does anybody know what is happening with the Lightning Association. A once extremely active and enjoyable association to be involved with appears to be no more.

Although they appear at the Waddington airshow each year – Communication is non existent,website out of date – last updated 2004 and e-mails not replied to. As a member for a number of years a few words from somebody in the “know” would be appreciated!!

Thanks
Steve.

I can say personally the association is still well alive as well as the preservation of xr724 as mjr knows.
Charles recently has been a very busy man and i know him personally and still struggle to get hold off him.
I shall pass a message on to him if you wish me too .
Pls pm me ur name etc and im sure he will get in touch .

Chox Let’s not start the rumor mill going..

Andy, is Charles a forum member?? I was in contact with him last year regarding the lightning in his back yard but have since lost contact.

Peter I dont think so, a very private man is Charles.

Like ‘Bucc’ says MJR might know more than I 😉

Peter I’m not starting any rumours thanks very much – I’m merely stating a fact. I tried to contact him twice without success and I also tried some weeks ago. Likewise I notice that very little on the website has changed in a very long time. What are we supposed to conclude?

You can’t say a damned thing on these forums without somebody taking issue:D

MJR could probably help on this one.

I tried emailing Charles on the website address a couple of days ago. Seems his mailbox is full so emails get booted back. You get the feeling that things ain’t going too well.

Hi Steve,

All I know is Charles Ross still ‘holds the fort’ as he is the only one we are able to have any dialog with these days, after that, ummmmm not sure sorry

Good luck 😉
