Quite - I would never have had the money to fund it, anyway, so I don't feel
any loss.  I am just very amused at the convergnce of the ideas, and the skill 
with which the MT team carried it off.  

("You've done this before, haven't you"?)

Actually - would anyone from the list *actually* be interested in a grand tour
of UK SIGINT stations, on a "hire a van and share petrol, sleep in tents" basis?
Sometime this summer?  Just a thought...

I am thoroughly looking forward to seeing what comes of all this.
