I dunno, but maybe if you shift enough of them
you could justify sending one to RIAT for their
offices/archives..........

Who KNOWS what that might get you in the future?!?!

I like to do my planning retroactively!

Funny that you should mention that...when RIAT contacted me they did say that The Director had asked for one as he is a keen photographer. I am waiting for confirmation but I am guessing that might be Tim Prince one of the founders of RIAT?

An update from Dickon states that these may be signed at the forthcoming VTST Christmas Party...if anyone on here is interested in either a signed one or unsigned then send me a PM and I'll send you further details.

This is the only forum that I haven't received any orders from so come on you lot!! ;)

I have now received the initial batch of 15 prints and will be sending those that need to be signed up to VTST within the next 7 days in time for them to be signed at the Christmas Party.

If anyone else is interested in a signed copy then let me know ASAP as signed copies will not be avaliable after the Christmas Party - the only ones for sale will be unsigned ones.

An update regarding these prints...at the time being there are no more signed prints for sale as the initial batch that had been sent up for signing have been sold. Nowhere near as many were signed as I was expecting but out of my control I'm afraid.

However there are a small number of unsigned prints that I sent to Dickon (VTST forum) for further distribution so if you would like one of those instead then let him know.

Due to the various hurdles that I have encountered along the way to get this off the ground to raise funds for 558, some of which could have been avoided, I for one won't be doing anything like this again. The support from some organisations has been non-existent.

Thanks to those of you who offered your support and encouragement and bought one anyway...even though none of you on here did!! :))

Sorry Rob, moneys tight. Unfortunate that you didn't achieve what you had hoped. Did you sell any on UKAR?

No the only forum that showed any interest was VTST.
