Out of the ether, all you lovely people, hello and well met, hope every
one still clinging to the wreckage, they finally
found me out after 32 years in the air and grounded
me, flew south with American cousins but BAS wont
have me not surprising with mother superior still in
charge grin, she's done well for a primary school
teacher with a rubber fetish. Damn it i have missed
you all wonder where Mex Merson, Howard Platt, Gerry
Lawson are now .ref history being r/o skeletons I
can do particularly the funny ones see doggerel BAS
club letter 34 , also why is Nigel Leader-Williams
not yet prime minster, and Howard my dads still
alive and still my hero. Sea ice fast and plateau
clear sledge dog days remain most dear xxricxx
