Thanks JD. I found it purely by chance when I imported my bookmarks from Internet explorer to Edge. I was really surprised that it still worked.

Hi Woody I have seen the opening pages of these reviews before, but never seen the info on movements, aircraft regs, etc before. Incredible! Opened the link first time on my iPad.

I knew these existed immediately after the July 2014 shut-down of nwan.co.uk website , when I found them difficult to access, I had no idea they are still accessible and can indeed be opened/downloaded. I do have them all on paper, although the quality of print-out varies.
How I would just love to have them all on a searchable memory media. I've several times looked at my box files of print-outs and wonder just how long it would take to scan the lot. With the resource still downloadable is there anyone out there in nwan-land who fancies the task of downloading and saving on CD (or similar storage device) the whole lot? I desperately want to get back onto transferring the 50s, late 60s and into the 70s logs into digital format having spent much time moving home, reposting photos and most recently researching and entering a series of threads on LFC and fans charters.
If someone has the time and patience to rescue the monthly logs and annual summaries onto searchable storage, I for one would be prepared to pay £10-15 for a disc. If a few committed to purchase then it would make it an attractive proposition for someone. Anyone out there like to take-on the task? Brian.

Completed with trial of annual reviews as .pdfs see post 7. Click on each review to open.
Hint : Use ctrl F ,("find" keyboard shortcut) this opens a box to search for phrases/words within the pdf, enter your phrase into the blank box, click enter and the find facility should do you right first time, saves a lot of time speed reading/skimming a 12,000 word doc trying to find a reg or something.
As an example ctrl f and insert a word like airbus and hit Enter key, to the right you will see something like 1/18 this means there are 18 instances of the word airbus in the document and instance 1 is shown in the centre of the page. Keep hitting enter key to move through to the second instance 2/18, 3/18 and so on the pages will automatically centre on the word in the find box.

Okay JD, I slotted in the little thumbnail thingys, not quite lined up with the links below (needed to add some "br" breaks into the html code) but it will do. Moderators, using your admin console, you can copy the entire html code into a sticky post if you like, I will leave you to experiment with the <br> or <body> tools so the little pics line up with the links in each box.The files will load much faster here than using the archive site.

Mike, You are light years ahead of me in terms of PC skills and have left me way behind and floundering. I'll be in contact off-forum by e-mail shortly. Your demonstration of what is possible is very neat and impressive.
It would be good to have this info available to all again. Where the movements end in 2016, is where I took over the task, albeit in a different style of presentation, on nwan forum. This digital information fills what was becoming a gap between paper magazine records of monthly movements until June 2006 and the record on nwan forum from July 2014. Our complete records actually run, without a break from 1956, and have incomplete data taking us back to 1950 - which is quite an achievement.

Yes JD, well worth pinning to the top of the index page. Getting the information together and presentable is the first priority, separating information post(s) onto their own thread away from all these comment posts, and pinning more of a final task. I would like all the monthly movements here as well as the annual reviews.
Actually having all those annual reviews available puts much pressure on me to compile and publish those for 2015, 2016 and 2017 before 2018 comes around too. Any volunteers to help - more with the general activity notes, the lists of aircraft regns/types, airlines, residents etc I can cope with - it is the airline route activity, terminal developments etc that I don't find easy.

To put the monthly ones in as well is a long job and some. There is the issue of available personal cloud storage or web based storage. I did the annual ones as a trial only. Doing the rest would need storage space elsewhere I'm afraid. Has anyone got webspace / secure, and I stress secure cloud space they don't use much ? Data Space is money nowerdays if you want advert free, the free of charge solutions are full of ads/spyware. Even proboards want a large sum if you wish to browse this forum advert free. The fee is based on the visitors the site has and advertising revenue lost.
A longer term solution is to obtain access to the original site owners cpanel and port the whole lot over to a new domain name.
The original domain name nwan.co.uk is unavailable, looks like this has been bought by IT company based in .DE possibly a domain flipper.
