Re: Tony Draper.
Hopefully he’s ok, was one of the main reasons I enjoyed TRABB, before the great warning off in 2015
When all else fails, read the instructions.
Re: Tony Draper.
Ditto, and I hope he's fine. He came across as a lovely warm decent character.
Re: Tony Draper.
If anyone has any contact please pass on my best wishes. As a long time reader and infrequent poster at TOP he was a wonderful source of information and a pillar of TRABB. Would love to see him over here.
Re: Tony Draper.
I've liked Drapes ever since I joined TOP late last century. I hope he's ok and will get his backside over here.
I miss ALC too.

Re: Tony Draper.
Not too sure about the Admiral Capt. I have made inquires on TOP no one seems to know. Rest assured, as you know, ALC is alive and kicking. Just not playing here at the mo.

Re: Tony Draper.
I had an email from ALC a couple of weeks ago. He's ok, just taking a bit of time off. I been friends with Drapes for years on FB, but he hasn't been on there in awhile either.

Re: Tony Draper.
I was wondering if Tony was somewhere - such as hospital/rehab - where he wasn't able to use his super 'puter.
I have been checking certain pages in his local paper and there's no mention of him.

Re: Tony Draper.
Someone over on TOP has offered to make a phone call to Tony to check on him. Possibly happening on Monday.

Re: Tony Draper.
Thanks Ex-A sah for that.
Could you let us know what Drapes's feedback was from the ph call please Mr Stacker?

Re: Tony Draper.
From his post, it seems like his earlier modification hadn't worked so a further mod was needed. Pleased that he is still with us.

Re: Tony Draper.
Thanks Wodders just had a look at it. Seems shaken but not stirred. I think still a few more nautical miles left in the Admiral. Thank goodness.

Re: Tony Draper.
I have a nosey round there, every couple of days, but no word from the Admiral himself, nor any hearsay, since late August. Another disappearance was Thunderbird Frank who kept us entertained with his railway and shipping-line memorabilia.. met him and a couple of other members IRL when we had a meal at the Lord Sheldon in Ashton.
