Very pleased to see my write up on construction and descriptions of what I exhibited at the N.M.Scot. last year.
My sincere thanks to Mark Welch, who painstakingly transposed my script to a publishable format. Would be interested to hear from others regarding my little inventions, in particular...how to perfect or modify for specific use.
Any queries/requests gratefully received.
I was however very sad to read that in the bulletin, the record of the demise of someone I knew from over 45 years ago. Mike Pugh, Alas we lost touch but he was the man that got me engaged with Syrphidae when we met once a month at the Birmingham Natural History Soc Ento. meetings. I brought my very first bino stereo microscope from him! His encouragement has never departed from my activities!
