RE: SER1 LRSOC parts

Hi Graeme,

Point well taken.  I have already been in contact with Warren re items for 
Legend, the first time regarding the Minervas in the Antwerp subways (that 
was an edit of someone else's work and he declined to permit publication) 
and more recently regarding my trip just completed.  Unfortunately, in our 
community there does not seem to be much enthusiasm for travelogues where 
the Landy does pretty much exactly what we expect it to do, whereas the 
non-Landy press is much more intrigued.  For that reason I've been writing 
my trip report for the latter audience.

Regarding Landy reporting generally, it's a big lump of sod over here. 
I'll write about what's in reach, but British Columbia (an area with quite 
a few Series Ones) is about 6000 km distant, and the biggest local patch 
of Series One activity is about 400 km from here.  In fact, mine appears 
to be the only Series One within 300 km. Help will be required.
