Trying to save old LUFT46 website

[NEST OF DRAGONS]

Hello, i found out that the amazing LUFT46 website went offline due to passing of its creator. A real big loss. The guy did amaaaazing work. That website is toooo good to be lost. So, this is my proposal. I want to make Luft46 as a new section in my website. My website is already about strange airplanes. I did similar effort for the old rigidwing hangglider website of Stewart Midwinter with his approval.
Now i ask permission to do the same with Luft46. But ...who to ask permission? And where to find the old texts and pictures?

Do i do this for profit? No way. If i do this, it will only cost me more. The bigger the website, the bigger the yearly cost. And i don't earn a penny from advertising and so. I just want to safe good stuff. That is why i have a few Flying Flea plans free to download on my website. After the passing of Pierre Mignet the movement went silent and that small airplane is too good to disappear. I got permission from the other son of Henri Mignet. I was super glad to see there are new constructions now. All this is just to day that i try to be a good guy here. No profit intended.

Who can help me to find out where i should ask permission?

Thanks in advance,
Koen from nestofdragons.net

I keep my fingers crossed that you publish it successfully.

Similar fate met the Mr Jukka Tervamaki's page (www.tervis.fidisk.fi/JTsite/index.html) - a great page which documented his live achievements, mainly in the aerospace area. He also did two bits of software that many homebuilders or engineers of small companies used as a guide. They are still available on the web.archive.org thankfully. I emailed Mr Tervamaki, but with now response, so I guess his health also went south. So for the time being I - like you - did a litle backup of his software on my site:

Persil, sadly helicopters are not really my thing. They are not part of my website. So, i will not add data about helicopters in my website. Like i said before. The bigger my website, the more i need to pay for it yearly. I do hope that some other helicopter minded website takes such calculators as part of the site.

Thanks, man. I will try to copy all the pages on my harddrive while searching for approval. Converting the pages to my website will only be started after approval. LUFT46 was a large website. It will take time before all is converted.
