Well, what's new here...
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.
The Lockheed Constellation was honored with one page and a visit to Sharjah was remembered on 2 pages, on the Antonov An-8/An-12 and Ilyushin Il-18 one each.
And the rest, they say: is history!
 Other commitments and interests have created a backlog of my own webwork, ideas to work out and contributions by others - forcing me to temporarily stop accepting photos for my pages Photos by Friends & Guests, until 01MAY this year.By then I hope to have cleared the backlog. At times I find there is a fine between the interaction Webmaster - online visitors, and 'working for others'... Thank you for your understanding -Ruud Leeuw |
