Good morning Galoots!

I happened upon the archives of Britain's Guardian newspaper site, which 
apparently include over 1M pages of searchable news. I did a quick 
search for 'Spiers Ayr' and had a hit on Stewart Spiers , Scottish 
planemaker, on a page dated 23Jan22. Unfortunately, I do not have access 
to the full data, which requires a US$10 monthly subscription. I 
probably wouldn't get enough value from it to subscribe ( too many 
projects pending), but I wondered if anyone in our group subscribes to 
this resource, and could comment on its usefulness.

and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like 
administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist
