Links
On this page are links to various websites that I think are useful or interesting. If you have a question about a specific piece of equipment, manufacturer or whatever, don’t forget that Google Is Your Friend. Someone, somewhere has probably posted the information you need... (Actually, I’m not sure Google is my friend. I prefer DuckDuckGo as a search engine, purely on the grounds that unlike Google, DDG doesn’t track you or pass your details to advertisers.)
N.B. I have no connection with any of these sites, so can’t take any responsibility for their content, good or bad. Inclusion here is not an endorsement!
