Hi Rowan... and Jim
That's great news!
Congratulations to all four of you!
Now the first thing we have to discuss is who will offer the Champagne first?

Congratulations to all.
Aeroscale can only get better with these additions to the staff and it wasn't too shabby to begin with.

Hi Mark
Yep! Smug-Bunny here!
I've nabbed the A-Team for Aeroscale.
First there was yours truly, then the 3 Amigos, next the Plus 4's
and now... I reckon it must be the Straight 8.
All the best

Wow it’s hard to believe. First I’d like to say thanks to Jim for the opportunity and thanks to Rowan for recommendation and confidence in me. Now I know I haven’t been as active in the last few months as in the past due to ongoing medical problems. I had another surgery last week and I’m slowly healing and on the mend. Then I can get back to the bench to finish up the many projects that I have started.
Looking forward to get started and working with you all!

My sincerest thanks on the vote of confidence. Everyone up for a dawn patrol? I'll get the coffee ready. Biscuits anyone?

Hi Chuck
Although I may be busy dodging Halifax-shaped bullets, I haven't forgotten the X-1! Look what appeared on the workbench last week...

Do You seriously think that we believe that you are actually going to finish this, Rowan?

Well the plan was for the X-1 to be a surprise Feature to mark the anniversary, but I guess Chuck blew that one...
