Someone with access to the complete library would be the ideal person to upload the articles. I have only a few that were relevant to my needs plus a list of all the articles available. I imagine the originals were stored on Wilf's computer, but it's possible that someone else has a full set - Laurence Jones perhaps?
After a decent interval perhaps the family could be approached with a view to acquiring copies and to gain permission for their dissemination?

Totally missed the obvious.

Re: SP250 A-Posts
Wilf was such a prolific writer and had such a generous nature that he always gave permission to share his articles, which are in the main only of interest to SP250 owners.
Would it not be more ethical and fair, given all the work that Wilf put in over the years, to perhaps publish his articles in a booklet or CD to be sold at a modest price, the profits from which could perhaps be given to his family to donate to a charity of their choice? Syd

Re: SP250 A-Posts
Perhaps someone who is a close friend of Wilf's wife could decide when it's appropriate to ask her. If they are sent to me on a cd I can upload them to the forum server and anyone can then download whichever they want.Vortex O'Plinth wrote: ↑Tue May 08, 2018 4:30 pm After a decent interval perhaps the family could be approached with a view to acquiring copies and to gain permission for their dissemination?
Or, as suggested above, a cd is for sale, but then someone has to decide how many cds to produce and store and send out and eventually create more after they are all sold.
Re: SP250 A-Posts
There are channels to approach Wilf's wife. Either Matthew Waterhouse or John Ridley who attended the funeral.

Re: SP250 A-Posts
In Wilf's memory perhaps we could have a section devoted to them on here for people to share so that all his excellent advice is not lost or forgotten.

Re: SP250 A-Posts
Yes, I'm willing to make a sub-forum for Wilf's files, but I want to wait until someone has asked his widow for permission to publish them, and for someone to send them to me on a cd.

Agreed John, In respect of Wilf and all his hard work I hope permission is gained.
