Thanks Barry. To be honest non of us could enjoy the hobby we do without a certain amount of patience, support and understanding from 'er indoors. I am very lucky there and Annette has never questioned why I am doing a model when there are a dozen things to be done around the house (and some have been on the list for a number of years!)

I think Nigel is right, it does add a whole new dimension to the forum when you can picture who you are talking to.

Nigels family made me smile, that is quite a handfull compared to just the two of us!

John, I lost a stone a year or so ago so heaps of credit to you for loosing two. That takes some dedication.

Barry, I always envisaged you as a Barnes Wallis character so my picture was as he was portrayed in the movie "Dambusters". There is actually a very good aircraft museum just outside York where they have a room dedicated to Barnes Wallis. I didn't realise until then just how much influence he had in other areas such as Airship developement, incredibly interesting. If you haven't been you would enjoy it.

Steve, nice to meet you!
