Yes I too am looking forward to this one. Dave I am going to download the Zoom App but I notice there are a few options to download. The most obvious one to me is the one called "Zoom Client for Meetings" which states: "The web browser client will download automatically when you start or join your first Zoom meeting, and is also available for manual download here." There are others for various browsers but it looks like if you download this app it does it automatically to suit your browser.

Baz when I send you the link to the Zoom 'meeting room' - if you've not installed Zoom before it will give you all you need to get the app too. So wait till then and you will be fine.

I was unable to take part in the last virtual forum due to pressing personal situation which has unfortunately now resolved itself so I should be able to make this one. As half of the team that recovered Currawong it would be rude not to take part

Will it be available afterwards, as last time?

Nothing is guaranteed John, but hopefully.
Shorty, we might have to get you to day a few words about the recovery.

Dave H, Seems I have a very helpful older brother available to help me set up for Zoom at my place, so should be able to poke my nose in at appropriate time! I also had a cataract operation today, so I am feeling a bit one-eyed about things presently. Dave D

Thanks David. Good to hear that you brother is helping to sort the technical side. I hope the eye heals up nicely.

Sorry Dave. Can't make this one as I will be down in Whanga this weekend and could be travelling back about this time.
Cheers Richard

Some good news, NZ Warbirds President Frank Parker will also be joining us to talk about the P-40's guns, alongside his wife Liz who is also one of the speakers.
And hopefully we'll have another WWII P-40 pilot with us too, Allan Emett. So we'll give him an opportunity to also say a few words if he's keen.
I have sent out the group email to all those who have registered. If you registered and have not yet received it, get in touch. If you want to join us and be part of it but have not yet registered, let me know ASAP by emailing me at dave_daasnz@hotmail.com
