I miss Louis and his Heco (1 Viewer)

[maddadicus]

Without Louis, Heco has become invisible again...I ,myself have not found anything on Ebay and other than a handful of us, collecting on the forum, there is not much available out there to display or buy...Hurry up and get well already...I do miss you. Heco,forever..Michael

Does anyone know how Louis is doing? I know I'm not the only one wondering.

No

But I can give you the Echo : .... Louis .... Louis .... Louis.... Louis

I saw him at the Hackensack Show with his children. He seemed fine although he was limping slightly. We talked briefly and it was good to see him. I believe he's focusing more on family and work these days. When you have two young children as he does, have a demanding job and are trying to fully recuperate your health, there is not much room for other things.

Guess a serious accident can change your priorities. Glad to see that he's getting around.

Louis will be back when he feels better and has time. Back problems take time to recover from. Get well, Louis. -- Al

Since my surgery, I have been actively searching on line for Heco and I found that two planes, a Hawker Hurricane and a SE5a, sold on a Vectis Auction in May. I will keep looking, but it doesn't seem like there has been a lot of Heco for sale lately. If I see anything for sale I already have, I will of course let you gentlemen know.:wink2:

To those who may be interested,
Today found this set up for a forthcoming auction at Vectis on 23 July 2015, and as a retired semi-skilled professional intelligence analyst knew that it would be of perhaps more than passing interest.

Hopefully I will be able to upload the accompanying image, if not interested parties can find it on the Vectis Auctions web site which is; http://www.vectis.co.uk/Page/Auctions.aspx. Apologies for not remembering the Lot number, but had to leave something as an exercise for the student.
