I agree toatlly although there would appear to be very few exers using the board now - the contact page is seldom used - what a pity !!!!!!!!!

Indeed swanny what a shame. Remember all, it is the world wide web and we are scattered far and wide so what a great way to keep in touch even if it is behind dark glasses and under a pen name. There is a New Year approching maybe things will get back up and running. Tell some friends about the message board if you run into them over the festive season. Cheers. '<img'>  '<img'>

Hi Cygnet

Haven't heard from you in awhile. Wishing you and the family the very best for 2006.

Simey Joe was home from Canada there early in November and looks right well. Has a Canadian accent now and asked me where mine went. Paid a visit to the Don and was impressed by the developments over the past few years. I can send you his email if you want.

Yelruf also called in for a day trip and knew almost nobody.

Hitler finally got his neck checked and there is a bit of damage but nothing serious. Always knew his was a hard neck.

Happy New Year to all our readers.

Good to see you're still with us Dinger! What're you up to? I remember the surprise when I bumped into you at British Airways' Heathrow Engine Shop! Are you still involved with Engines?

Hey Dinger, yeah I'm still with BA. I'm an A4 Tech. On 747 minor maintenance-permanent night shift! I went to 747 major maintenance when BA sold the Engine shop to GE. I went down to Nantgarw for 6 months to show the Taffies how to overhaul RB211s, that was back in '92. Since then I've seen nearly all the major maintenance move away from Heathrow. Big Frank M. left the BA Engine shop around that time and joined GE based at Heathrow, I still meet him now and then, he's doing well-married with 4 kids.
Otherwise there's a couple of ex Donners around BA that I meet occasionally. How's the Maggot? does he still work with you at Airmotive?

Hi Johnnie/FTF
sorry for not getting back sooner but I took a little break. There are still a few of us left in Airmotive Maggot, myself, jimmy (chris)Collins-he did a stint in BA as well, Joe Cronin, Greaser (young) Tarzan, Benny Roycroft, UK Daly, Black Sully I think thats about it but there may be more-memory loss!!!
How are things with all you lads
Question-does anybody have Dick Wixted's e-mail I had it and lost it-if anyone has it email it to me please.
keep up the good work and I'll see you on the board.  'buttrock'
