All ex-staff and "visitors" will have noticed a steady stream of changes and updates to the website of late - just like an aircraft, a website needs maintenance. Our hangar-boss is John (Johnson) down in Australia, and I make no hesitation in thanking him publicly for the splendid job he continues to do for us all - he has looked after the website and kept it flying for 12 years now.

Through the website all our ex-DA friends and colleagues in the aviation industry will be able to keep in touch and share the unforgettable great times we had together. The website is for you whether you worked on the ground or in the air. Your continued contributions to the various sections will always be gratefully received. It's 19 years since DA ceased trading, but memories live forever; don't be shy in sharing some of your own with others, be they photographs or stories.

The issue of a "Password" to bona fide DA personnel is happily still ongoing, and I'm very happy to report more and more ground engineers are 'clocking-in'. Quite a lot of "password" holders embellish their contact with old DA times by becoming full DASA members (still only £8/year/family) it's not much money for a years membership to really keep more in touch. We are slowly approaching 700 paid-up members.

The events for 2011 are on the "Notice Board" so try and come along to at least one get together and see if the magic is still there for you!

The Dan Air Staff Association, and ALL the DA community around the world, are most grateful and appreciative to John our webmaster for his continued voluntary efforts keeping the website airborne. Thanks a million John.

To all our supporters near and far, we wish you and yours well.
