Several small errors have been corrected and a photograph has been added to one of the the pages for Derek Eustace John Meaker.  Further changes have been carried out to update the main Meaker pages from HTML3 to comply with the HTML5 standard (validated by W3C).

NOTE: The site was originally written in HTML3. As time passed standards changed and as pages were added they were written to comply with the latest standards. As a result the style of pages does vary. All new pages will be HTML5 and as pages are re-visited (Meaker for instance) they will be updated. There are too many pages to re-work them all.

Several minor points of details regarding William Peel have been corrected.

A sub-page has been added to the Flt/Lt RDG Wight Wight page and details the events on 11th of August 1940 when twenty-five British pilots lost their lives, the greatest loss of pilots on any day in the Battle of Britain.  Sunday 11 August 1940

An Aston Martin 'Ulster' was a car previously owned by two Hurricane pilots that both lost their lives in World War 2.
R.D.G. Wight was one owner and the car is pictured in his section of my Medals section. I have now added a sub-page with details of the other owner, Lancelot Steele Dixon.

This update marks a change in design philosophy as far as screen resolution is concerned.
Statistics show that only about 1% of users have screen resolutions of less than 1024 pixels.  For that reason I have decided to resize pages to better suit higher screen resolutions.  In addition to this the new pages will conform to the new HTML5 standard.
Three new pages have been added to the medals section:
Lewis F.A.
Garrett B.H.
Windebank R.P.

Photograph of F.W.Harris added to his page in the Medals section.

One of my TA's was recently photographed to illustrate an article that was to be published in the October edition of the Practical Classics magazine.  This page has all the photographs taken during the shoot.

I'm still having trouble with my guestbook.  After the last session trying to get help from theguestbook.com I decided to go my own way and employ a simple guest book of my own.  Well, this is now giveng problems as spammers have found a way to insert dodgy text into my book in an attempt to trick visitors into visiting music download sites. In the short term I will simply delete these attacks as I find them.  Eventually I will have to go back to a third party provider that can give spam protextion.
Just recently I have been having a few problems with one of my TA's, Flivver.  It is said that problems come in threes, well occasionally they come in fours!  Read about it here ... Trials and tribulations

For some time I have been having trouble with my guestbook.  As a result I have lost nearly all of the mesages collected over the last few years.  This has forced me to abandon specialist guestbook hosting and go my own way.  My new guestbook is simple and has one or two little niggles ... but it is mine and I choose what to do with the messages.

The menu structure of the site has been re-worked in order to eliminate circular indexing of pages.
This is been done to reduce the possibility of the Google web-bot getting lost when spidering the site.
Also, the Study (unofficial) sitemap has been tagged for web-bots not to index or follow links from that page and instead a properly structured sitemap in xml format has been produced for web-bots to follow.
