Hi Roxy,

I wasn't aware of 'Blackwells', thanks for the 'heads up'. They seem to have some great titles

Cheers

Owen

I bought my copy whilst a member of 206 Sqn. If anyone is looking for a particular member - I'll happily have a look.

Thanks Roxy, that's what we're all about here. If you see any mention of 206 (or anything else for that matter), feel free to wade in.
