Thanks so far guys,
Not that I should bother but, in reply to QB, I'm not sure how much I will get paid for the article and re the Ben Fund, I would estimate that I have raised many thousands of pounds by signing prints at airshows and going around with buckets.
Mr P, thanks for the note; I've followed pprune for quite a while now and read all of the posts, especially at Rotorheads, on this subject.
As I said, I know there will be critics but I have worked many, many hours (unpaid QB!) on this alongside the Tapper family because I feel a grave injustice was done.
