LATEST ARCHIVE RELEASE ON SUSSEX IS NEARLY READY

It has been good having something to get my teeth into getting home early and the robbery etc, seemed like all the plans were going up the creek but really I'm on top of it. I've been working through some more of the donated material which was passed to John Bishop, its not material I've scanned before albeit quality overall is a bit iffy to say the least. I'm just putting the Sussex film through the NEAT process so it is all sparklingly clean and sharp. I've dedicated it to Dick Gilbert who died last year, he ran the skyline aviation website which had the best and most up to date calender on it. Thankfully the baton has been passed on with the blessing of his family. Dick was born in South london like me, he moved to Eastbourne like me, he went to Eastbourne Grammar school like me, he served in the Royal Observer Corps like me, he was in an adjacent post, Willingdon I think, he loved buses like me and worked in the aviation industry with small airlines, I was involved with Casair when in Ireland it was sold on to Danair. We got to know each other through the website, Dick was 5 years older which is why we never met when we were younger.

Anyway that's sad stuff out the way, Mandy and I continue our 50 glorious years of our marriage coverage with some more photos through the years. Please come and meet us both at Kirkby on Sunday next, it promises to be better weather and loads to see and ride on.
