Having been involved since the early 70s myself I can agree with every point you've made. I was only a schoolboy at the time and remember my excitement at finding Bart's Observers book and saving my money from a paper round to buy it. I joined the local military vehicle club around then and met people I still know today.
It's incredible how the internet has increased both the number of contacts and the volume of information available to anyone with an interest.
I've also noticed a new wave of videos starting to appear here which can only serve to further enrich our enjoyment and understanding of the subject.
In terms of a world-wide meeting place for enthusiasts, THIS is the place to be and I salute Geoff for having the foresight to start and maintain it.
So to everybody, keep up the great work!
