By the way Chris-in your travels did you ever run across some of my old mates like Frank Bangham, Lee Warner, Don MacDonald, Henri Bource, etc.?

ps-check out my photos for some old aussie odds n ends.

hiya chris, there are a few of us on this site with a little experience so i get a big charge when i notice a new member with more than 160' on their tattle tale page. Roger the beach detail-(last year i got taken out of the game by a stroke)-but in regular correspondance with my old confreres tell much the same tale. if you were on the wind up a contract or expecting new build work-nada. same same from singers thru the north sea. Redds and crazies are back to their old game posting a few air jobs for $125.00/day. There just ain't much on the table-expect to hear bits over the next month or 2-keep in touch, in the mean time see if you recognize anybody here or over on longstreath.com --i'm keeping my ears open for work.-cheers bill
