Welcome to the new 'RAFMTD' website

For the first time in 5 years the site has had a total revamp, this has become necessary to enhance the 'Full Members' privileges and get rid of the dated 'frames' format that the site was originally written in. As some of you will know the Full Members section of the old site was somewhat difficult to navigate and you didn't seem to get much more for your money than that available to a visitor, who was able to access most of the data. I have tried to address this imbalance by making the majority of the site available to Full Members Only. This has also become a necessity as the amount of work to maintain the site has now far exceeded the original expectations and I think it's fair to say that there should be at least some reward for my time.

I have tried to do as much testing as possible but as the whole structure of the site has been altered it is possible that I've slipped up somewhere, if you find something that doesn't work i.e. a broken link or missing picture etc please contact me and I will rectify it as soon as possible.

I am always interested in your feedback, not just positive, but negative as well, because if you're not happy with something chances are you are not alone and if it's something I can rectify within the scope of the site I will look at altering it.

So, what's new?

Hopefully you will find the site easier to navigate, allowing you to have full access to the data without being redirected to a Full Members area.

Update: Searchable Trace a Mate & Driver's database's, full members can now search for details within a drivers profile. The R.I.P section is now fully searchable by anyone.

'Full Members Only' access to all full size images throughout the site.

The option to have an 'RAFMTD' email address. These will be available only to Full Members at an annual fee of £2.95. They will be available on a first come first served basis, for instance once joebloggs@rafmtd.co.uk has gone, it's gone!!

A Non Member will still be able to add their details to the 'A2Z' as well as sending in 'Trace a Mate' requests and any material for the site content i.e. Photo's etc. The 'R.I.P' section will also remain available to all.

I am maintaining the Full Membership donation at £4.95 per annum which it has been for the past 5 years. I feel this represents very good value in relation to sites of a similar nature. Full members will still also be able to send in a picture & comment for inclusion on their profile page and take advantage of a 'full members' discount on any polo shirts.

I have decided to keep the maintenance of the site manual, although this means more work and submissions can take a few days before appearing 'live', I still feel it gives the site more of a human touch.

Please take a look round the site and feel free to email me with any feedback.
