djb Topic Author Offline Administrator Posts: 32627 Thank you received: 4989	Paul, The 8th volume is about the future of South Africa and looks at the railways, commerce, sheep falming etc but there is a chapter on the future of the SAC authored by BP. I don't recall ever having seen this volume before. I will add the 8th volume to the site tomorrow. Best wishes David Dr David Biggins
