Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Good response so far, let's please keep it up. So if you haven't "come clean" on age and starts etc so far please consider doing so. Its very interesting to see common trends looking like they are emerging - lots of us seem to have had our first experiences from a Keil Kraft kit for example - often around the same sort of age 12-14. Interesting stuff. Eric I think you're a hero - good on you mate. I hope that you get your A real soon BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mackey Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Sorry guys..but some of you are ignoring the request in the O/P.This thread is NOT for chat - stick to the quick and simple one liner answers to the questions asked, as sorting this data will be just too difficult. As we have already said there is a dedicated thread for the chat side.... HERE.I have knecked a couple already in here, so if yours is missing - thats why - and please repost the data again .

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thanks for that Timbo. It really does help me if we keep this thread with just the data. If everyone interweaves the data with a "story" then it ends up taking me an awful long time to extract the data from the text - and in my experience when folks do that they almost invariably end up forgetting to answer one of the questions So just data here is good. Please do give us the background as well - its fasinating detail - but the right place for that is in the discussion thread please! Thanks to everyone who has responded so far - keep them coming in!
