I doubt that , I
am sure that Reg is "fair dinkum". It must get lonely up there in the bush so give him a little leeway lads.

Reg Holmes-Brown
Reg took on a huge job for me. I didn't set up the Crew List properly and had to reset it. Reg re-entered dozens of entries, virtually rewriting the Crew List, it was a very long and not very exciting job.
To make those changes Reg needed Administrator 'rights' which I was very pleased to arrange.
Reg now runs the Crew List which is a great help to me.
