Titanul care a tinut vie flacara acestui site, se stinge:

Si, chiar si acum, se gandeste la noi.

Inca nu s-a prapadit, cu toate ca isi ia la-revedere de la noi! Si pentru ca tot il pomenim, numele lui este Ron Chernich .
Tot el este mesterul care a avut grija de web site-ul "The Ausralian Controline Nostalgia". Pierderea lui va fi mai mare decat se stie acum!!
Oricum, imi place filozofia lui despre viata si cu toate ca vede capatul liniei, iata mesajul sau de alaltaieri, de pe forumul Barton:

And thank you All for the amazingly praise, and your obvious earnest regard for the little web site. A friend alerted me to this thread and I felt I had to join the forum just to say thanks for the thanks!

Soon mobility will go, though I hope to finish and fly my new Don Still Stuka before that happens. Then it's on to static modelling--I've already bought the quiet airbrush compressor--and maybe those big Hasagawa WWI museum scale models I've had stashed away for years will get built. Then there's the two Victory kits, and the Victory bow section (I've built the Victory cross section, nearly 30 years ago). Oh the shame of it all, still modelling is modelling ...

Again, thanks guys. I've received enough emails over the years saying how MEN has helped with some problem, or needed inspiration to get a generally warm feeling, but to see such nice things said about me personally is quite humbling.

very sincerely

Ron

Inca un exemplu de gandire pozitiva, al acestui om minunat: am dat si eu un banut, crezand ca are nevoie pentru ingrijiri, medicamente, etc si, iata ceea ce am primit:
''Thanks for the unexpected and very, very welcome donation. Contributions like yours have now assured MEN a home on the web for years to come, even though I won't be there to add updates.

The Motor Boys have formed a "Custodian Board" who will ensure that hosting, domain registration, etc are managed and paid as required year after year so that others can use the archive for as long as model engineers build IC engines, and collectors seek the history of their prized possessions.

Even though I will stop the monthly release cycle with the December 2013 issue, there are lots of “minor” things I want to do to it, if I'm able, to improve the usability and/or look of the archive. For instance, the current look of the FAQ page(s!) has been worrying away at the back of my remaining mind for nearly a year, so with luck, changes will still take place until I can do no more.''
Tot la noi se gandeste....
