Tom, does your book of magic have copies of itself either digitally or hard copies? I'm also looking for info to import to the US, I've found the charts showing the starting frame number for each month for the 40s just wondering if the same chart exists for 43s. Trying to figure out a way to...

Just stumbled across your thread as I'm looking to get into a 43 myself, looking forward to following your progress! Congrats on the quick work you did and your journey. I hope Coos is treating you well, what I'd give for a wormhole to cooler weather at the moment. Cheers
