Guys
Firstly Steve , no Brad has just received the first part of the Buchon article , there is another to follow [ including the Avias ] in the next issue - which feature 'your Buchon'. Reason for this is the amount of material gathered , as originally the 109 series was to finish with this issue [the previous three parts dealing with the German built examples].
There are around 15 names in the issue Brad has , people that have helped in one way or another [ there are a few I haven't mentioned , as it is impossible to do so , due to the amount of space available ]. Of those , three I have met directly as a result of posting on this board , and over the whole series , probably five.
The others I have known for several years before this board came about , and about half of those post regularly on WIX.
Anyway , to answer the original question , the wealth of knowledge here is outstanding and it covers all bases . There are aircraft operators - both pilots and support crew , restorers , recoverers , researchers , authors , and all the enthusiasts that are the foundation of the whole thing.
Even the most obscure question often turns up an answer , or at least a pointer to where an answer may be found.
The atmosphere is friendly and informal , even if there are sometimes differing opinions and some heated debate...... all good for the long term survival of WIX .
Thanks to Scott and all participants for not only helping me , but making this such an interesting place to visit !
