As far as transcription of the Diary is concerned, a plan is in place, hopefully using some technology to speed things along. But, with 200+ pages to do, it will take time under any circumstances. Please bear with us whilst we do some trialling of the approach...

(I did a LOT of this when working on archiving Gramophone & Autocar magazines from back issues.) Sometimes it's just easier to do it by hand to be honest.
