Mart, he really is a smashing chap isn't he.

We met him for coffee in Dartmouth after which he invited us over to his place one afternoon where we spent some time in his garage with Les showing off his bikes which were lovely. He really is one of lifes lovely people.

I have his home address so I'll drop him a line in a day or two.

I'm not sure where he lives, but could he be one of those unfortunate people that have had flooding and no power?

I really do hope the old "wing commander" is ok - I have checked back on this thread several times over the Christmas holidays in the hope he had posted something by way of a response.

I really do hope it's just his computer is knackered or something like that.

He brought some amazing stuff documenting his flying days with him,
Along with some superb photo's he sent of him when he was younger

One of life's true gent's

Obviously, but have you yet sent a message to our Leslie in a bottle or what? If you could kindly do it via Royal Mail tomorrow, if not yet done. You may get discount or even priority mailing for free due to your fantastic shares in RM. I'd strike it when it's hot.

Seriously, I'm a tad concerned now. It's not like Leslie to stay away from SN like that. Hope there's nothing concerning.

Yes, I will drop him a line tomorrow unless you want to draft a note and PM it to me. I wouldn't want to give his address out to be honest.

Chip, just drop him a note, sooner the better I think. Must admit his phone no longer seeming to be working worries me!

No, I simply reminded you what you suggested yourself on 28th Dec. in your post 32, Chip. Now it's gone well over a day or two since 28th Dec., so why not. Hope you hear back from him.

I didn't realise I had to drop whatever I was doing at the time to comply with your demands. Sorry Miss.

Chip, I really didn't mean to offend you. I never said you had to drop anything to comply with my demands. I only asked out of genuine concern. If I had his address, I would have written to him myself. Never mind.

Have a good day.

Lets hope so. I also have a foot soldier out there making enquiries so we may get news soon.

I have used some of my profit from my Royal Mail shares to fund the postage.
