New Website Address

I was concerned not to put Fleet Officers' personal email addresses on the website and started seeking an alternative.

How long has this internet lark been going on? Two decades? Three maybe? You would think that someone, somewhere in the world, in all these years, would have had the wit to register www.flyingfifteen.com as their domain name, wouldn't you? Well they have now ..... !! The Datchet Flying Fifteens have !! www.flyingfifteen.com now points to our fleet website. It is so memorable that you can easily pass it on to people you meet who might be interested in sailing with us.

I also took the precaution of registering www.flyingfifteen.org which points to the "Datchet Man" Blog and can be used instead of the old complex address. Additionally, I reserved www.flyingfifteen.co.uk for us as well - for some future initiative maybe, but it points to our Fleet Website for now. All the old addresses for the Fleet Website and Blog continue to work, of course. Fleet Officers now have forwarding mailboxes at @flyingfifteen.com which gives improved personal security and future changes are handled more easily. Give the addresses a try and let me know if you have a problem. If you use Twitter, Facebook, Y&Y or Linked In, let me know if you see any of the old complex addresses visible there.
