HW: What The...

[Bryan Young]

Are you a member of the Hawkwind list on yahoogroups?  I'll send it to that
list as a small attachment, as I've got a really clean freezeframe image of
the ad, and I say it's definitely Lemmy.

I'll send that within the hour, so if you're not a member, you might have to
visit the yahoogroups website, search for the group Hawkwind, and then join
up to view the recent messages.

Bryan
