Master Nigel, This seems an appropriate time to express my deepest appreciation for sharing your time and wisdom with the DOG, and more so with me as a student of the Art. I dearly hope that you will continue to be available as a source of practical knowledge regarding flying, fixing and understanding the world's greatest machinery - motorgliders. Sincerely, Thomas Preisser S.N. 3506
