NOTICES AND WEBSITE STUFF

Please Note

This is not a commercial site and donations are not necessary to fund it or my work which I consider a hobby and a pleasure to do. The costs involved are not excessive and I can fund it all myself.

However if anyone has any strong views about this then I am a member of the Royal Air Force Association and donations can be made to them. They will put any money to good use

The RAFA is a charity I have supported for a number of years and to which I make regular donations

SITE and OTHER NEWS.

Future Additions to these Sites.

Over the winter I have worked steadily producing new material and I now have accumulated a considerable amount of content awaiting addition to these sites and uploading. It is all written up with photos ready to go. From now on I may update the sites twice a month or alternatively add more content at the end of each month. However this is dependent on available time and other commitments/interests which have to take priority. David W Fell – 1 April 2024

2023 Website Summary

The past year has shown another encouraging increase in visitor and page view numbers of approx 20% all round. Down time has been minimal and nothing to worry about. My host is very reliable and provides sound UK based support. Feedback has been excellent throughout the year.

During 2024 I will continue to expand the content on all 3 sites and build on what I have achieved. The website, photo and research expenses are quite manageable and I can easily cope with these from my own pocket.

I look forward to another 12 months of consolidation and progress. Onwards and upwards.

Happy New Year and my best wishes to you all. David W Fell – 1 January 2024

Jane Mary Nicoll

I deeply regret to announce the passing of Jane Mary Nicoll in May last year whilst in residential care in York. I have only just discovered this and had no idea she was in such poor health.

Jane was the widow of the late Gp Capt Tim Nicoll RAF Rtd who passed away some years ago. Tim was a former 103 Squadron helicopter pilot in the Far East and contributed several items and photos to my websites etc. Jane was a teacher, exceptionally fluent in German and a quite lovely lady. Both Tim and Jane were most helpful and supportive to me during the few years I had the pleasure of knowing them and their encouragement was greatly appreciated and valued. RIP.

Seasons Greetings

A very Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all friends, supporters and visitors.

2023 has been another year of continued progress and consolidation with no unforeseen issues of any significance. This should continue in 2024 and beyond.

Visitor numbers and site stats for 2023 are very encouraging and have continued to show steady growth throughout the year. I will include a brief summary of this next month. 1st December 2023

2022 Websites Summary

Throughout the year the sites have shown steady growth and particularly in the last quarter when there has been something of a surge. The Page Views for 2022 broke the million threshold again and ended up well past 1200000, a 20% improvement on last year. This is all very encouraging considering I am an independent self financing creator.

For 2023 I will continue to develop the sites and build on what I have already achieved. I have limited on the amount of time I can spend on this hobby however but I will add new items and expand on those I have already started on a regular monthly basis as time progresses.

Many thanks for those that have sent submissions and material over the last 12 months. 1st January 2023
