Editorial
I am very grateful to Alan Drysdall for his contribution
on a follow up to my article in our previous Edition;
Apart from me, Alan is the only Individual who has
put pen to paper in this publication.
An article on the Federation’s first definitives
has been long overdue; some of you may have seen an
article in the December 2006 GSM by one Nick Halewood,
unfortunately this is a flawed account full of errors
and omissions and the Author in my humble opinion
is not conversant with his subject.
I did submit a ‘Letter to the Editor’
with some constructive criticism, but it was not taken
up.
I have recently revamped the Southern Rhodesian section
on our website and I have added a new Information
section entitled ‘Aspects of Collecting Southern
Rhodesia’; it is a time consuming exercise so
it is as yet not finished, but those of you with an
interest in that Territory may enjoy viewing it.
