- The Airfix Tribute Forum -

The Airfix Tribute Forum celebrates it's second birthday today and I would like to thank every single member for your support of ATF during the last twelve months. The time has really flown by and as usual there were times where things got quite manic but overall it has still been an enjoyable experience for me at the helm. It was also possible for me to meet up with quite a few of you during the last year and look forward to meeting more of you in the next twelve months.

I would just like to extend a special thank you to:

- the Admins and Moderator team who as well as the public side that you all see, do a lot of work behind the scenes and keep an eye on me!
- those members who have donated money and provided other support towards the running of the forum
- those members who have supported the charity fundraising either by buying tickets or donating prizes
- BAC for his continuing work on the excellent History of Airfix Kits section
- Airfix (Martyn Weaver and Darrell Burge in particular) for their support and encouragement

The forum has come a long way in the two years since it's inception and I hope that it continues to flourish. Of course, a forum is only as good as the members and I truly believe we have a special bunch here at ATF.

A big thank you once again.

Dave

I can't believe it's two years, but then again the old Airfix forums seem such a long time ago.

-I also really must upload more photos for the History section (I've got a bit behind and there's lots! Thanks to everyone who's been sending them in).

Crikey that went quick

Thanks Dave for setting up the site and to all contributors for making ATF an enjoyable and interesting place to visit.

Cheers

the important ATF contribution is that it offers a group for defending airfix against those who would denigrate airfix.

Dave, thanks for you and your forum
