Mark,

John was not a co-founder, sorry.

We actually contacted John, inviting him to be part of the newly formed F16 class and as such he was part of the earlier group of class members. I think that was done on a suggestion by Peter Cogan (USA) at the time, who we had attracted to the class through this public forum.

The class was founded in the last week of May and early weeks of June 2001. We completed the first F16 ruleset in july 2001 about the same time as the forum went online and I think we contacted John late summer 2001 as in august/september.

But there is more then enough honour in being the first F16 builder.

I guess we'll have to file the "selective memory ... again" quote under Welsh Humour again ?
