Thank you for the kind words everyone!
I was just a little unsure about whether to continue since it only seems to be very occasionally that we get a proper discussion going and, so far, no one has come forward with any additional variations from other published sources. (I find the latter point more than a little surprising since the primary objection to this whole idea when I floated it on the old Forum was that different editions of printed catalogues, primarily AIM, would contain different variations.) It was therefore unclear to me whether the summaries were actually of anything other than passing interest to Forum members.
Anyhow, rest assured that I will now plod on until I reach 1a. (There go my Saturday mornings for the next four to five years!)

Please note that the equivalent position for SF models is still vacant (and the lucky applicant gets to define his own cut-off date/criterion!).

keep up the good work, success is ´´interest´´ best judged by hits not replies,because in most cases the case is clear cut with nothing needing to be added with the current level of knowledge..........

Firstly, Apologies for my almost constant bumping of old posts. You lot have been here years and my good self since November 2018. As a newcomer, I'd like to see additional comments on the old posts in this thread as to more variations, value, what to look for etc. It's all very useful. Don't forget for some of us, this is all new!

My view as well and while the forum contains a lot of valuable information, it is not always easy to find so please do carry on bumping the posts you find interesting and that some of the old timers here have forgotten about

Ghosty.
