This reply primarily for LB.....but also for others who are interested.
Since my previous post I've looked again at the disc.
It runs to 104 pages, taking up 192mb of disc space. It is (obviously) about model ships of the era, plus a bit about other aspects of modelling that B-L did. Each page is between 1 and 2 mb, reducing a page to the 161kb required by the forum looks horrible!
So I have a suggestion....if anyone "out there" would like a copy of the disc I'm willing to do it for "free". Mainly because I hate to see "stuff" hidden away and never seen by interested people.
All I'd request is that you send me a PM with a mailing address, I'll PM you with mine. Send me a blank CD (preferably CD-RW, but not vital), with a small label or whatever with a return stamp on it and I'll post the full disc back ASAP. My recent postage cost for a CD within the UK has been 68p....and £1-60 for postage to the USA. (But only 75p to New Zealand.....you work it out!).
I can also enclose a little list of other very old stuff I have on disc that makes interesting reading....particularly WW2 guff produced by the Ministry for (dis)Information. Bryan.
