Mate,

it was great!



The presentations were excellent. Part of the cost of the conference covers the supply of hardcopies of the presentations - which I am looking forward to getting. Eventually they will be on the Aerospace Centre's website.

I also had the pleasure of chatting to that great Australian pilot Dick Creswell.

I had Andrew Smith, Steve Drew and Darryl Hackett stay with me and many long hours of discussion were had and many fine bottles of red were drunk.

We made several trips to the AWM and a very exciting discovery was made of which we will inform the Forum of at a later date.

All in All a top weekend.

You should also acknowledge the others of us who bludged off yours and Jeanette's hospitality but did contribute to the supply and consumption of the Red (remember that deep, purple, booming Baileys of Glenrowan ?) i.e. Stephanie, Mark and me

Thanks yet again
