Peter Sharp has provided an obituary for Dennis Doubtfire which we have been honored to post here.

This month's Picture of the Month comes from Karl-Heinz Borchers with his Y/T 2778.

A new Snippet has also been added too.

The YT Factory Production Records recreated have also been updated and are available to download.

We are still in need of more pictures for the Picture of the Month feature so please send them into the Webmaster using the link to me on our Contact Us page and asking me to contact you for a picture. Apologies if this is convoluted but it is a necessary security precaution we have to go through to prevent scamming of our email addresses by putting our email addresses on the website directly where robot webspiders can find them. If you already have a note of my email address you can send them direct still too.
