from what i have told Flarms were developed as a commercial venture. Sure Nigel applied the technical know how, but that is the business he is in and still is.
finding anyone to back a venture is tough. Harry put a sizeable lot of cash at risk into this. Having backed a few ventures, including my own, putting what the majority of you would consider a small fortune into a small fickle market (gliding) takes balls and commitment. I think Harry should be awarded on that alone. > On 24 Jul 2016, at 6:01 PM, Ian Mc Phee <mrsoar...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Very well put Bob from another bloke 50 years continuously in GFA.
