". . .The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax-- Of cabbages--and kings-- And why the sea is boiling hot-- And whether pigs have wings. . .”

As I have noted before we have raised the Early Aviation forum from an after thought forum to one of impressive status here at Aeroscale (39,122 posts). Just check the hits out for each forum. You the members have created a place where modelers can feel safe and ask the questions and share. The forum has grown beyond me and as long as you continue as you have I hope that it will continue to do well.

Well gentle folk all good things must come to an end. Most of you know that I have had a long standing relationship with the Lafayette Foundation and the Vintage Aero Flying Museum. The founder Dr. Jim Parks was a friend for many years and the current Foundation President has approached me asking that I take a larger share in the daily activities. As with so many aviation museums we have had to modify our hours of operations. Recently the Kermit Weeks museum down in Florida has had to cut back as well. Keeping the lights on and having some security for the exhibits is tougher than in the past. Even in retirement I have requirements on my time that exceed the hours of the day.

I am not good with the long good-bye. So with this posting I resign as Moderator and Editor on Aeroscale. I’ll retain a membership just to say hi on occasion. Whoever steps up into my place please give them the loyalty and friendship you have given me. After nearly 11 years and 11,100 plus Kitmaker / Aeroscale posts I say, farewell. This is JackFlash signing off and out bound at Angels 3.

Hi Stephen

That is a real shame. As you say, the Early Aviation forum has expanded beyond all recognition - and it's totally down to you that what was very much a sideshow in our humble beginnings on Armorama is now such a vibrant part of our Site. I can't thank you enough for that.

Hopefully you will do much more than just look in on occasion. I know, come the day when I inevitably stand back too, I'll find it very hard to stay away from a place I've invested so much heart into, and I'm sure the same is true for you. Remember, there's always a seat for you, should you wish.

Thank you for the amazing work you've done here! Take care, and all the best as ever

Rowan
