Is Chris Golds still around?
Forty years ago Chris did a piece of bespoke artwork for me. Anyone know if he is still around?

He appears on Search for People, Businesses and Places - 192.com, in Devon, but you have to open an account and buy credits to access the info. They have his phone number for a fee but it is not on BT.Com

I'll be seeing him on 5th Nov at a reunion. As far as I know he no longer paints. Any message?

Tell him I'd like him to touch up the error he made in my painting bought from him in 1960s.

And if he doesn't do it any more, I'd freely be happy to!

Good to hear - I remember with great relish from any moons ago his 'History of Aviation' (with soundtrack) - at Chiv, I think.

Thanks for all the comments. Apols for delayed response - been deep and silent for the past few days.

Chris is also a regular contributor to a model aircraft magazine called RCM&E. He designs and builds some fantastic scale models.

Re Chris Golds
I knew Chris in Cyprus. If he is still around, and you see him, ask him if he remembers a dogfight with a Hastings. I was on 70 and he on 43.
