November 2008 Progress Update
Firstly, our apologies for the lack of updates recently - this has basically been because we've been busy writing! Viking Down! is progressing nicely, and as we commit the fruits of our research to prose, we are still receiving new information more than two years after the project began.
During the summer, we have received further information on the subsequent career of Captain John Ramsden, however, there are still some pieces of additional information which may yet appear, not least, a photograph of the man in question.
In October, we were delighted to finally meet Enid Clifton, wife of Denis Clifton, co-pilot on Vestal during a weekend in Buckinghamshire and Surrey. We once again met with Shaun and Martin Moroney and with them, visited Brooklands Museum in Weybridge and together, we were welcomed aboard their static display Viking. A very rewarding weekend indeed, and a pleasure to see the Moroneys once again.
We thank you once again for your interest in our project and wish you the very best for the festive season.
