  What school are you representing?

Greetings all,



This was posted to the homebuilt list this morning,

and I think Sid got it right, so I am cross posting it

here.



This smells like a scam to me.

If they want "PLANS" they have to purchase them from who ever has the copy rights......anyone else could be sued.....

Thank you all for replying on the e-mail and especially to the ones that 

donated some materials.



Just short explanation to all of you that got so egger to argue and protect 

your rights.



We are academic and student group from the Mechanical University in 

Macedonia.



(Republic of Macedonia)



This project is done in close with aero club "SKOPJE".



The basic of the project is to expand the knowledge of construction and 

building to the students and everybody interested in. We are under funded 

and not able to bye all the necessary materials.



That is the reason we are not looking for a specific plan or material but 

anything will work out fine. So basically the point is not to reproduce the 

project but just in practical way to explain the possibilities that one 

thing can be done in different way.



All of you that are interested I can provide you with the contacts of the 

University and the leaders of the project.



Hope this mail will clear my name in this chat group.



All best



Georgi

Nothing to do with Kolbs so if you feel strongly about such things DELETE 

NOW.



 aero club "SKOPJE".>>



The word Skopje made me sit up. About 30 years ago there was a very bad 

earthquake in the Skopje area. I was a member of Round Table (a sort of 

junior Rotary) at that time.

One Table member was a cameraman for the BBC and when he returned from 

covering the earthquake he gave a talk to the Club and said that refugees 

were living in tents and winter was coming on. Some bright spark suggested 

that the Club buy a caravan and that members should tow it to Skopje and 

hand it over to the Red Cross.

In a bout 2 weeks dozens of Round Table Clubs throughout England had bought 

caravans, arranged to take holidays from work, said goodbye to their wives 

and families and headed off for Europe.

The Government agreed to pay the fares on the cross Channel ferry. They 

thought there would only be half a dozen. In the event there were more than 

a hundred and governments being the same the world over they tried to get 

out of paying.



This great convoy of caravans was met by local Round Table members as they 

progressed across the Continent. Providing food, repairs for some caravans 

that were disintegrating, showing short cuts around cities etc., untill they 

arrived en masse in Skopje. There the `vans were unhitched and handed over 

to the Red Cross  and the Tablers just turned around and drove home.



It was one of the things of which I was most proud to be associated  during 

my 15 years or so as a member of Round Table.



Under the rules everyone is kicked out of Table at the age of 40 so it was 

all a very long time ago.



Cheers



Pat

Pat,



In the USA, when most pilots hear the word "caravan" they think of the 

big Cessna Turboprop. Americans call caravans trailers. This was part 

of my education in the English language by my English son-in-law who is 

from Carlisle. We've abused the mother tongue in so many ways that a 

book could be written on it, and probably already has been.

Pat, 

I too was thinking you were talking about the Caravan 675 from  Cessna.  I 

thought, why don't they just fly them over?  

After Thom's post it made since you were talking about camper  trailers.

Hi Tom,

Thanks. I should have remembered that.



It struck me after I sent the message that it is possible that some of the 

people involved in their project may owe their lives to our little 

adventure. Or more likely may have heard of it.



We all  enjoyed the whole thing and it was a tremendous boost for the Round 

Table movement.

Hi Will,

at that time I dont think the net worth of our entire Club would have made a 

down payment on a Cessna Caravan..



Stupid me!

WARNING  - NOT Kolb Related!!



In the spirit of better communication among the various English 

speaking countries, and others who graciously use our language for 

communicating with us, because most of us are barely monolingual, the 

following link might help us to understand each other better. At the 

very least it is entertaining and at times quite funny.

Kolb related or not, it's great fun.  Thanks, Thom.  I have a 

British/Canadian background and really enjoyed poking around in the 

definitions.                    Lar.               Do not Archive.

Well, You're a bit of an upstart aern't you! Now for me, I am and have been

referred to by many that know me as: bolshie, a Bounder, a dago, but we

Italians are called that not the Spanish! Now you Brits may call this yank a

bit of a gormless, but under sports you only have seven. No wonder you're so

bored! And why so many have become "trainwatchers", duh! Just follow

railroad tracks (insider information). And I thought American bird watchers

were a bored bunch. HA, HA! And if your words are proper 'English" why does

my spell checker dislike your spelling, and for that matter, why hasn't the

web site been updated since Nov 2005? 

Though I am a yank, I have been around a bunch of yardie's, yobbo's and

waster's in my life. Never a luvvie, by choice. But somehow the good Lord

above pulled me through it and now I get to hang with a batch of educated

fly-boys! Now that's America.

Ya gottta love that site. Thanks Thom (American would be Tom, Thomas,

Tommy).

Have lived with the split between the Queens english and "Murican" all my 

life. The first thing that struck me about the posting was how did you end 

up named after Lord Voldemort?
