SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~Loud raspy breathing noises~ Where’s me ******* light sabre?????????

Ok…not sure if I need more alcohol now, or if I should quit while I’m ahead and go to bed…

Ah b******! There is not only an Ashley@yahoo already, but a Miss Ashley too! (For those of you who don’t already know, my “on-line moniker” is a shortened version of Miss Ashley II…when surfing the net one day, I came across a picture of Miss Ashley II, a P-51 used for racing in the 1980s, and liked the name….a long time ago, on another chat site, I registered the name “Miss Ashley”. When I registered here, I shortened it to “Ashley” as Ashley is an androgenous (sp?!?) name, and I did not want other members making assumptions about my knowledge/interests, based on my gender. Sounds silly now, given the number of genuine friends I have made here, but hey!

And I bet I’m the only one in this thread so far who likes anchovies on their pizza…

~Looking at the locations of the current three forum members in this thread~…is there really not that much to do round Cambridge or something? :p

Seriously though, I do look forward to seeing this thread develop, I am positive there are some of you out there with some good pics and tales to tell…

Totally shocked. Just cannot believe the news. I knew he was not well but did not expect this. I met him through organising the January get-together and thought he was a brilliant, funny and intelligent guy. The last time I spoke to him was back in the summer when he phoned me to drop a hint that the new ‘Battle of Britain’ DVD release was highly likely to include ‘The Battle for the Battle of Britain’, the little seen documentary on the making of the Battle of Britain film…of which there were only a handful of copies made (I believe four, one of which Robert had been given by Hamish Macaddie, sorry if spelling/name is wrong, I hope you will forgive me if it is, and one with the IWM at Duxford) He was so keen for the documentary to be included on the DVD, and quite rightly so, and was so please that MGM had finally got the hint and said yes. He thought I might like to know so I could drop a hint on this forum for those of you who are interested.

I just can’t believe it. Robert’s gone. Only a few months back I was stood in Robert’s hallway talking to him and his wife Joyce about PA474, the Battle of Britain film, the Museum, and A1 at Stamford of all things!

Sorry I’m waffling here, I just cannot believe it. My thoughts go out to his wife Joyce, and his family, friends and colleagues at Keypublishing.

Tonight I raise my glass to you Robert, thanks to you, I will always remember to look out for MH434’s aerial in the ‘Battle of Britain’ now…

Hmmmph…not sure if I want to know about Snapper’s package…

Mr Flibble is very cross with you…

Mark12…I will see what I can do (I will get back to you asap)

P.S. Do you know what type of film it is? I presume acetate?
