I have compiled a pretty extensive list of Quasar, FF and HCS Articles.
If you know of any others that should be included, let me know.
Quasar/FF Magazines Wanted - I'm keen to get my hands on any of the following magazines. If you have a copy that you don't want to part with, a good photo-copy would do, otherwise maybe I could swap it for something else you don't have, (or of course I could always buy it if it's a spare copy) :-

I'm hoarding all the FF construction type articles that I can lay my hands on. If anyone else is looking for anything specific or if you have spare copies of anything Quasar or FF related, send me an E-mail and I'll publicise it on this site.
If anyone has any original advertising material, any TV or video footage of Quasars, Can I have a copy ? I remember seeing a couple of Quasars on 'Tomorrows World', sweeping though a rugged Highlands landscape, does anyone have this on video tape? Please, please, please can I have a copy or the loan of the original so I can digitise it ?
