“The Race for Space” is pretty good too. “Go!” is the easiest track.

I would imagine that the devil will be in the detail. There will be a base value and to it you add depending on the level of content, famous actions, major names etc. Probably from not a lot to awesome.

This is actually quite a complex question. Someone owned the intellectual property for every picture taken. Since such images, when sold as originals or licenced for another use, have a commercial value then a set of questions have to be asked. Are the pictures copyright free or copyright expired? If not then the use of those pictures is theft of commercial property. That a lot of webfolk abuse that right and reuse pictures that they have “found” somewhere on the web does not invalidate the rule of law. As I write this my wife’s copy of the UK Intellectual Property Law is 3 feet away over my right shoulder and I remember that time when a library assistant was prosecuted under that law for illegal photocopying to distribute to people who asked for the contents pages and she was fined £26000 in 1980s money. I also remember my fight when a group took an entire webpage complete with my pictures to add to their Griffon-engined tractor page.
Pampa14 or whatever the hell his name is is collecting other peoples images and collating them on his webpages. He then publicises these pages and we presume makes money from visits. I find some of his collections fascinating, with stuff I have never seen before. That does not necessarily make his idea of making money from collecting other folks pictures right or legal. The correct way to do it is to set up a page consisting of links to the owners of said intellectual property. If it was done that way then the owners might make money from traffic, although in my experience few are set up that way.
I asked a mod of this forum about the potential illegality and got a laissez-faire response. I can’t remember the exact words but the essence is that nothing would be done without a complaint from the original owner of the intellectual property.

So guys, I set you a task. Hit Pampa14’s webpostings and find a picture or two that are unequivocably owned by someone. If it is in a link that has turned up on this forum (and you guys know more about this en masse than anyone) then tell the owner, then a moderator. Pick one.

Congratulations to an awesome gent.

OK This forum has a lot of enthusiasts. And a lot of restorers. And a few folk interested in magazines. And a few with an interest in filming.

So Guys- Can I have an open declaration of interest?

If you have skills, interests, and access, Put it up front, and maybe we can have a package from the melange.

“One expert told me that he considers it very unlikely that it would be impossible to recover DNA due to the age of the remains”- not strictly true. Very little old DNA is available in Africa because high temperatures, exposure and UV light degrades samples pretty quickly.

The bit about being able to compare each bone is fair though. Either the results of the tests exist or they don’t, and if they do then copies should be able to be used for comparison.

I wondered about including him but wasn’t aware of the depth of his folk work. “My dad worked down in arms and legs”- then the day they broke the mould of solid gold that once made Barry John.
