Thank you.
I´m "clear to take off" in this fórum, and as far as I can see, I have a topic that interested me very much: Cab Forward from BLI! It´s really a headache this model.
Well I speak about this model in the topic.
Regards.
Alvaro

Hello Alvaro Sousa,
As Old 97 says Welcome to the forum, lots of friendly folks on here. In fact there was another fellow from either Portugal or Spain on the forum too. My fathers' great grand-father was from the Azores and on my father's mothers' side was Thomas Hickling who was appointed ambassador to the Azores.

I also have a distant relative José Manuel Bela Morais who is located in Madrid, Spain if memory serves me correct.

Take care.

Thank you also for your gentle words.

Alvaro Sousa
