My $A0.0476 (at todays rates):

Hmmmm ... having spoken to Doug about this, I think that we should
all follow Dale & Jill's lead. It is only natural, with Dave being
55, that Alan would have to eventually consider his post-Hawkwind
future. Building on the success of his solo album by following up
with a touring band is totally sensible, and it is happening with the
good will of the band. Doug wouldn't guarantee that Alan would be
there for the forthcoming "World" Tour, but the impression I got was
that he believed it be so ....

Whatever happens, there is some other good news on the horizon which
may make up for all this confusion .... and NO, I promised not to
divulge until it's a cert.
