After having started this website by the end of 2000, I found it useful to keep track of the changes; the initial start contained 4 pages on the Douglas DC-3, one each on the DC-4 and DC-6 and one on the Curtiss C-46 Commando. Plus two text pages with general background information on the C-46 and the DC-6. Soon followed by The Lockheed Constellation with one page and a visit (my first dedicated propliner visit abroad) to Sharjah ( 2 pages, on the Antonov An-8/An-12 and Ilyushin Il-18).
Later the TRAVEL Pages were added and indeed, a Blog.
And the rest, they say: is history!

Since the amount of work on the website is increasingly becoming an issue for me, please consider the following pointers, when sending an email and/or photos: ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS... INCLUDE THE URL (LINK) TO THE WEBPAGE WHEN REFERRING TO SOMETHING ON MY WEBSITE ! State the subject of your email, why is it of interest Where and when was the image taken; make it clear if you do not want to see it used on my website Who is the copyrightholder of the image; did you take the photo? Do not send more than six photos (the size is of no concern) Always sign with your name, I do not reply to emails otherwise
