Whilst in no way advocating the closure of Duxford as a flying site, I would just like to point out that there is an huge lack of active historic aviation sites down here in the deep South West. Yet we have a lot of old sites, now inactive, that might possibly be reactivated.

Plenty of space, and a huge road improvement is going on down in deepest Cornwall, leading to sites such as St Mawgan which is currently looking for a means of staying open, which would get a lot of support from the local community as they know it’s true value.

It’s a long way from Birmingham and London, I know, but we are so often forgotten down here.

Bring it on – Devon and Cornwall would welcome with open arms such an important airfield development, and the weather is generally better too.

But why was an insect watering your garden in the first place? :confused:

Probably taking a No.1. Probably incontinent too, if it didn’t know.

All the scans have been reduced in file size to allow posting on this board

When you do this, please also reduce image size. If you simply reduce the file size you lose some quality in the image anyway, so it makes sense to reduce the image size to, say, 1024x or 800x as these sizes better fit computer monitors, and the loss of quality issue better matches the image.

Here’s an example – hope you don’t mind. As usual, click for full size image.

Ah Rob, I notice you’re a Novell type. I’m a lowly CNA!

Ditto – a CNS means Certified Novell Salesperson – one days free training at Bracknell the first time, top up online courses every year, also free, which take about 2 hours to complete. The test is multiple choice again, online and free.

Having a CNS gives me the ability to give away a five user version of Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 (NetWare version). I hope they extend that to the Linux version. But I think they might cancel the scheme altogether. Will have to wait and see.
