Comments last time on the age profile of the membership appear to have
been all too relevant as we have to report with regret the passing of John Edmunds.
Fred Cobb published a small set of Bournemouth Airport cards in the
1990s.
On
the subject of catalogues, Heathrow, as
predicted sold less well outside the UK than the type based issues.
It is probably now too late to commit to publish anything in 2003
although the research could be done, pending resolution of the “cost of
publication” issue. A Concorde obituary is now back on the cards but the cost
of colour print would be a problem. All
alternatives assume that members have access to PC’s to print off from either
CD or the internet. This is not a valid assumption and would further reduce the
take-up – even the most successful issues have only hit
60 copies worldwide.
Handley Page is still a possibility for a print edition but there has
been no response from collectors after floating this in March.
So lets hear from you….
