I received a phone call on June 24th 1973, (exactly 42 years ago today) from Doug Arnold asking me to go up to Blackbushe, "As I have bought the airfield and I want you to help run it". He conveniently forgot to tell me that there was a press call. On arrival his beautiful Spitfire was parked on the grass where 'AirFirst' aircraft are parked today. Doug was standing leaning against the massive propeller and I was asked to join him while the Aldershot News photographer did his job. Shortly afterwards a very attractive and smartly dressed blonde, female reporter came over and started asking all sorts of questions for an article which was published in the local papers a few days later. He also took some photographs of us while we chatted together. Shortly afterwards we went out together and eventually Sandra and I married and are still married today. How lucky can you be and we even have photographs supplied by the photographer, at the time, of the very first day we met! Indeed a special day.

A special day indeed!! As my co founder of the One-stop Forum I send you and the smartly dressed blonde reporter sincerest best wishes and congratulations on a magnificent 42 years. Sandra got more than her story on 24th June, 1973.
Celebration time!! I've already raised my glass to you both...to Stuart and Sandra
