Good afternoon from Down Under.
I have recently purchased 1948 model Cessna 140 S/N 14668 VH-KXN, formerly N2421V in her previous life.
I've joined the Cessna 120/140 Association and have been researching past Newsletters for the history of the Type. Unfortunately Part 1 of the 2010 Buyer's Guide Newsletter #361 doesn't seem to be available. Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the Newsletter, or at least a copy of the Buyer's Guide Part 1?

There are acually quite a few Newsletters in the member section that are missing. I have downloaded them since 2005. I suspect either they are lost in cyber world or there might be a more technical reason for them to be missing.

330, 332, 337, 338, 342, 344, 345, 346, 353, 354, 360, 361, 367, 368, 375 thru 395, 416, 418, 419

I do have copies of the old mailer newsletter that are from #1 thru #56.

HI, Still looking. I've located #362.............but we're still looking for #361. Not sure why I don't have/can't find that one. I have newsletters going back to the 1990's...... Don't give up on us, we're still looking. As Dave pointed out, we're missing more than just one issue from the archieves.

FWIW I have hard copies of issues 294, 315, 318, 319, 321, 330, 337,and 342. I can scan them and put on a flash drive and send to whoever can add them to the Members website.

Don't "we" (the association) have hard copies of all previous issues, or at least the ones that predate electronic distribution?

Yes..........."but". Apparently 361 is missing. What's odd is that I don't have it and several other members don't have it either............
Still looking!

Hello, I do apologize that this "search" has taken longer than it should! We will locate that issue and get it uploaded. I have issues back to the 1990's and our Association has many more than that. This issue is obviously "M.I.A.". We'll locate an issue and it get it uploaded, not just for you, but for everyone else as well. Thank you for your patience!

Thanks to Victor, Dave and a few others we are filling in the gaps in our newsletter archive. I am organizing all of the old issues and will be uploading them to the website soon. I will also compile a list of which issues are still missing and continue to reach out to some of our long time members hoping to locate the missing links. --Rob
