    Fact or Flattery? Do we want Fair Critisism?

    We’re going to have to differ here, Ken. I’m posting much less here these days, partly due to the change in the general atmosphere, and so I’m not going to bother debating this whatever the general feeling. I tend not to get especially sensitive over most things (and certainly not over posts on...

    Fact or Flattery? Do we want Fair Critisism?

    More 37J1 weirdness

    Need Assistence in Identifying Maker of This A1

    I don’t have an insight concerning the maker (aside from who it’s not likely to have been made by, based purely on their typical pattern or hide offering: GW, ELC, BK, BR, RMNZ, SFA, Aero).

    A1 bonanza on ebay

    The 37J1B did (I contacted John about it very quickly, but it had already sold). You have to be up very early and on your third coffee to beat the vendor (David) to the sale... :(
