Hi Col

Keep up the good work on the Govt - There's a promotion in this for you !!!

Hi I am armpit deep in mud and dirt here in Manila digging up your photo contents - (you know the one I mean) - do you have any info about it other than time - like the exact place - long shot but I though you might have it.

I am in the A/C dump site which is where I suspect the photo was taken as there are a lot of P38 booms etc here as well as other stuff I will have to hope the powers that be will dig up.

Kindest regards

Sir John,
It sounds like you've died and gone to Heaven(or Cleveland, I'm not sure how that works....). As always if the Militia can be of service, please don't hesitate......

Hi Col and Don

Photos will have to wait till I get home as a very helpful local drove a backhoe over my backpack with brand new (insured) Canon 300D in it and I am reduced to my Nikon Film thingmy. I have to pull out of the site today as I am going back tomorrow - this is a recon for a proper dig later when we get permission to go the whole hog - The team have found enough to justify the next stages and I hope I will be coming back to finish what has been started.

This is not an easy project physically and is under official scrutiny so I wouldn't anticipate too much happening in a hurry but I am hopeful all will happen in the end.

Kindest regards

Hi again

By the way the locals are very friendly and I have been drinking Moxie to ward off the Bali belly but as of yesterday I am sitting on the can most of the time so it didn't work completely!!!!!!!!

Whats this rubbish about Coors and Moloson merging - have you guys taken your eye off the ball over there or what!!!!

Regards
John P
