Yes, a warm welcome, good to see new members joining regularly. Good to see some also posting. Appreciate all input guys, don't feel intimidated, all questions, input is good

Welcome to the forum, Mr. Bird!

Thanks so much for the welcome guys, though I think you are being too generous Andrew! I'm really into the early stuff, silent cinema in general, and focus on the larger gauges - 9.5, 16mm, 28mm and a little silent 35mm (I draw the line at nitrate though!)

I see that you have good tastes in films Chris! Welcome to you! Very interested in seeing some posts on your silent film collection.

Enjoy the forum Chris, just like our Brian (Ralph ), no sooner joined than posting, that's what we want to see, good man.
