Thank you all so much for your generous comments here and in emails.
I took it on as a challenge in the quiet days, and I'm glad I did. I've enjoyed the discussions and the laughs, and I've certainly learnt a lot.
Bet you'll miss us!
Paco's right. I will.
It's been a big part of my spare time for so long.
I won't post again as Heliport, but I'll enjoy the discussions from the back rows and no doubt join in using another name.
Thanks again.
Heliport
PS: Here's another thread which gave me laugh.

How many Rotorheads .....
