Having conveyed my express wish at this time not to become involved in such matters to the very person it concerns I feel that after such treachery by that person in publicly publishing in part only snippets of personal messages leaves me little choice but to defend my integrity!
However after a quarter of a century of loyal friendship it is with deep sorrow and a heavy heart that I have now been forced to do so.
Having been totally ignored only now to be be contacted for the first time since approx January 8th 2020 I am suddenly told to silence my " mouth piece" with the threat of being dragged into a "Class libel case"! Told to put the record straight! Having more important personal matters going on like not least isolating re Covid 19 etc and not being aware things had once again begun on the K7 bashing front I bid them good night! However my hand is now being forced.
So on the issue of the number plates most but not all may be aware they are and have always been the property of Miss Gina Campbell QSO after being purchased from Mr. Arthur Benjamins. A very nice man 😊
At my insistence an agreement was drawn up by myself to reflect that. However after many years proudly in my possession came the announcement on the 4th January 2020! Richies earlier "baseball bat to the legs comment " I find so fitting here and how we all felt as a team at that time! As many of you know over the years I have been the peace keeper averting many attempts by the Type III's out there and others to de-rail the Project.
However after the 4th of January's announcement I clapped in total disbelief at what had just been delivered! And because I hoped yet again to resolve this situation I stepped back from the cliffs edge, declining to be involved with this complete U turn!!
I have no problem whatsoever with returning the private registration K7 DMC but it was the way in which there immediate return was now being demanded with many terrible personal comments and criticisms!! Along with the variety of tales to speed up there return 🤔!
And as always happens at a time of great personal expenditure I returned them asap and reverted back to my original registration at my own cost.
To be fair there was a late offer made but it had already been done and paid for by that time.
Am I bothered about the registration 🤔 no. It was nice to have them bestowed upon me for the many things over the years I've done in keeping a great mans achievements alive but no. I knew they may have to be returned one day but not like this!!
What really really hurt amongst other things laid at my door was the suggestion I had somehow used that friend for 25yrs 🤔!!
As for the revealing in public part only personal messages I feel this is a step to far and bang out of order.
To publish private messages proves I feel how a person has for some reason changed from that of a once loyal caring friend into the person they have now become! Why is that I wonder?
And a blatant attempt at what exactly??
I leave you all to decide and form your own opinions here by the publishing of full content of those once private messages. To follow .
I had wished to keep a dignified silence but I was not allowed to do so. But please remember I did not cast the first stone!!
“He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.”
From the Nicest Schmuch you used to know!

Re: Return to the Water
Only one thing missing from the above is during the many meetings with the Heritagr events group that Malcolm and myself attended. Out came the shocking fee of £345 per half day or £690 per full day for two of their officials or observers to Sit on their collective behinds!!!! Grandstand seats whils...

Re: Isle of Bute
A friend of mine has offered a while ago (Malcolm is aware) the use of a fast response power boat should the need arise “i hope it doesn’t” to attend any incident that may occur. And should we need a special classic boat to give our hosts a viewing platform i dare say he would bring one of his Riva ...

Re: Press Release
Bill remind me just how long we have been trying to get the powers that unfortunately exist in this sad neck of the world to let us run Bluebird K7 on its historic home of Coniston Water ? And just how long has it taken the Isle of Bute taken to say YES you most certainly can run this fantastic lege...

Re: Warby's Spirit of Australia II
Looking good especially the last shot of the S.O.A II running right to left looks in perfect balance. Reminds me of another certain boat with that tail fin without tail-plane. Will they need to add one as the speeds increase? Only time will tell I suppose. Will be keeping and eye on this now they ar...
