IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

I am currently recording Book 3 of the series and will not be starting this one until that one is finished. So potential prooflisteners should know that it will be a bit of a wait before this is started. And I'm 81; I even drink my coffee slower these days so who knows, eh? These are hefty books. Image

Hello, Phil,

Just one PL note on chapter 1. The bit "Do not change the facts in any particular" is repeated between ~05:12 and ~05:18.

Chapter 2 is PL OK.

Cheers

Wow, you really are fast. I won't have the next chapters for awhile but rest assured, we will get the Skylark through much danger and excitement.
