Hanno, you have of course posted the point, with considerable justification previously. I plead Guilty to the inexcusable offence of adding information from your website without ensuring that the final copy gave due credit. The text was written by Professor Alan Earnshaw, and then I added information from my own research evidently including your website and I was in error for my oversight. Please accept my sincere public apologies here.

I subsequently obtained some information on Danish QL trucks for a HERITAGE COMMERCIALS article and with the permission of Henrik Teller and the Danish museum quoted information etc. and I made absolutely certain that due credit and from memory a website address for the museum was printed.

I regret that despite my editing of articles when sent to me for final checking the magazine made mistakes in captions for photos and I am still embarrassed at the result. That is why I am very conscious about ensuring that any errors are minimised and that authorities are quoted.

Also, where relevant a list of acknowledgements will be given in the books to include experts' assistance. The response to my request for photos was overwhelming. May I suggest that, between gentlemen, an extra signed copy from yours truly to yourself Hanno and all you other MLU friends who have contributed would be acceptable?

I have just realised that I should state here that yours truly will be solely authoring, with Professor Earnshaw editing, improving and publishing. Alan is a world-renowned military vehicle, railway, commercial vehicle and agricultural vehicle historian. The series will I hope expand laterally, but at least for the first four volumes yours truly is the Captain with Alan as Commodore.
