  ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This is a personnel site and all article's or photograph's can be used without infringing copyright unless copyright has already been acknowledged as belonging to a third party.  Acknowledgement of use would be appreciated as it all helps to promote interest in the site.  However, NO responsible will be taken for the third party use of site material and unique articles or information provided for exclusive use on this website and as such; third parties shall require the permission of both the owner and the contributing party for re-use elsewhere.

I have used photo's from wherever I can find them to populate the site, some of the copy and photo's have been obtained at least third hand so origin (and potential ownership) of the master may not be known to me.  I have also found a number of items from what appear to be 'dead' web sites; by this I mean sites that have not been updated for at least two years or I have not been able to contact the site owner.  In order to prevent the loss of this material I have transferred it to this site (with acknowledgement if possible).

Articles from Radio Control magazines both current and no longer in production along with extracts and photo's from other web sites have been used throughout this web site either in their original format or extracts adapted to suit.  Special mention is therefore made in the acknowledgements section of those who have given permission to use copy from magazines / web sites or any other form of media under their control.

Therefore, in consideration of the above statements;

If I have used something of yours, providing you can prove ownership, I will gladly provide acknowledgement or if you object then I will remove it.
