    May I put in a vote for Newark’s supurb Avro 706 Ashton 2 WB491 ? It may have been the second built, but was the first with tricycle landing gear and the enlarged square tailplane ? therefore is so different to the taildragger that preceded it ! I would like to think that it’s a surviving prototype ! Keith.

    Newforest, Post on “propliers” tells us that so far $37.000 has been raised of the $50.000 needed for fuel etc.
    If the remainder can be raised by 1 August, N199AB will fly Anchorage to Travis AFB on 1 September ! Keith.

    The Bournemouth news letter has been modified, the part regarding the CL-44 is removed ???? Curious ?
    I have also read somewhere of the CL-44 Asc offer mentioned above ? Keith.

    Newforest, Could that possibly have been Hornton Airways, and possibly Dakota G-AKLL, which flew on the airlift ? It amassed 108 sorties during 301.25 flying hours, carrying 397.5 tons of freight ? all this from my treasured book “The Berlin Airlift” by Robert Jackson ? Keith.

    In 1685 Weston Zoyland was the site of one of the last great battles in England ! Please lets not allow the villiage to have another battle on its hands ?
    Could I prescribe a huge “Chill Pill” to all concerned !
    Always remember that very thin line between constructive discussion and raging arguement.
    What we see in this forum are not peoples thoughts, just typed words on a computer screen, there is no emotion, that little thing we all get when talking face to face, this, I think, makes a huge difference !
    I have very little interest in your projects Chris, but I enjoy reading your posts, and know more about Weston Zoyland now than I did one year ago, thank you.
    As an example of what goes on “behind the scenes” last evening I spent some time trying to find a photo of WH887, with no luck, as at the time I felt you were down, and would loved to have found one to post here just to cheer you up !
    Would it not be so nice if every body read and re-read all posts for some time, and thought about its impact on others, before hitting that SUBMIT POST button ?
    Chris, when you ask a question, please accept that not all reply’s will be what you want to hear.
    We are all individuals
    ….. just like everybody else ……. Keith.
