Dick, There's no difficulty with using the figures, and no permission is necessary, as they're already in the public domain. I have figures from 1959 to 2000, inclusive, if you or other List members are interested. Some had been in the public domain for many years, I collated and released others during my tour of duty on the Ministry of Defence's 'UFO Desk', and figures from 1995 onwards have emerged as a result of questions asked in Parliament, or posed by journalists and ufologists. But all figures are the official MOD ones, and can be referenced as such. I'll email you my mailing address off-List, and look forward to receiving a review copy of your report. Best wishes, Nick
