Hullo,
Well, I went meet Mr Rob Elliott at his hotel in London yesterday evening...
what a fine dude! We talked meteorites, obviously and drank lashings of beer
just the way you Americans like it, at room temperature!!! And it tasted
mighty fine too!
Rob had some tremendous stuff with him, including a massive lump of an
acapulcoite, weighing nearly 200g, and a huge and impressively sculptural
Gibeon and masses of other stuff which I have never seen at such close
quarters, like big beautiful F/C'd unclassified NWAs that were superb!
Great fella he is! And the rumours of his alcohol consumption are completely
false he assures me!! Very social it was and nice to eventually meet
face-to-face a fellow meteoriticist!!
I got some great pics too - if anyone is particularly interested I can mail
'em to you but they are quite large files so will consume some bandwidth!
The weather in London was torrential rain (1inch in an hour) which meant
that I got completely soaked and steamed and must have smelt like a
pond-soaked sheepdog!
For me, this was the longest journey I have been on since falling ill with
the grotesque spectrum of ill-health that I have been bathed in since
December last year! I must be getting better at long bloody last!!

Thanks Rob!!!

very best
