I still have only spoken one time to Lance Watson so I would not say that we are Mates, however he is a nice gentleman, and I enjoyed our conversation. Below, I will relate the chronology of events in my DD with Lance Watson in an effort to allay your concerns.
Sunday evening, 17 February Post # 31767 had a link to the Integrity Patent process that showed the patent application had been withdrawn due to lack of fee payment. After examining that link in detail on Monday, 18 February I decided to try to call Lance Watson and find out what that was all about. I remembered that numbers for Watson had been posted recently, so I searched and found Post #31732 on 16 February that had a phone/fax 61 26 585 1111 and a mobile 0409 463 613. The post also had a link that showed Integrity Specifications along with an address and the same phone numbers for Lance Watson
Due to the time difference I waited until Monday evening to make the call so that it would be Tuesday afternoon Australian time. The phone/fax number was no longer a working number so I called the cell number. The cell number given in Post # 31732 was 0409 463 613, but that is for calls within the country. For international calls the 0 is dropped, the country code (61) is added, and the international access (011) is added. So the entire number from the U. S. for Lance Watson’s cell is 011 61 409 463 613.
Lance answered the phone and we had a long pleasant, but at times a detailed conversation. Lance Watson seems to be a very nice straight forward individual and spoke with knowledge and candor about aircraft flight operations. Although I believe that he has an overly simplistic view of what is required to certify a new aircraft model. Lance is a commercial pilot with 6,000 hours flight time and all of the ratings needed for air line operations.
Lance was quite open and answered all questions without hesitation, and he volunteered a lot of information that I would have had no knowledge of to ask questions about, such as the kit fiasco with Phoenix Continental and the involvement of PVD and Premier Aviation. At no time did he speak negatively about PVD, he just told the story of the Integrity program for the last eighteen years in a matter of fact manner, and said several times that he is counting on Pete to raise the money to go forward with Integrity so that he can get his money back for the kits and start selling Integrity aircraft.
I reported in Post # 31911, as accurately as possible, the Integrity story of the last eighteen years as it was related to me by Lance Watson on the phone Monday night. I then spent time Tuesday and Wednesday on DD from the additional information provided by Watson and posted the information Wednesday night, 20 February. It is obvious that you take issue with my Post, but it is not clear to me exactly what your objection is. As to your request for links, I got information from the office of the Secretary of State Delaware, Secretary of State Florida, Secretary of State Michigan, Securities and Exchange Commission, links provided on the IHUB for the Watson testimony to the Australian Commission on Regional Air Service, and IHUB links to the Integrity Patent application. Internet access to the states corporations division and the SEC is rather obvious, but I will be glad to guide you to other links if that is needed.
