I put this here because even non B17ers could not fail to be impressed by this:

Oh that's a shame. I didn't know that. Well, he left behind a helluva memorial. :(

Hi Ron

and thanks to YOU Ron, you've created another memorial for Jack and a great reputation for him.

As to opening the Youtube video, sometimes I can't open Youtubes from the A2A site. So what I do is copy the Youtube URL from the A2A posting, close A2A, open up a new browser e.g. Google Chrome or Opera, and paste it in the search box and 'enter'. (My default browser is Edge.)

Hey presto the Youtube runs (maybe some junk advert might appear first)! This morning, after doing the above and seeing the video of Jack's stunning and excellent work, I came back to the A2A site, clicked on YOUR Youtube link and, blow me down strike a light, the video ran OK. ?????????

So you see, I ain't learn -ed, but I've stumbled on something as a workaround, for me.

As my chemistry teacher would say "I don't know what the el-'e-ment, but I do know what 'e-sed-'e-ment".

Oh, thank you Lewis for doing the embedding thing. How about an 'embed Youtube button'? I've seen it on many forums.
