Spanner Squad Project Newsletter #5: March 2026 Update
Greetings Advisory Board members!
What has been happening in the world of The Spanner Squad?
We had a great reaction to our last newsletter, describing some of the locations for The Spanner Squad stories.
One of the Advisory Board members asked, “Why Sydney Airport?” Well, although the picture shows it as Sydney Airport, it won’t be called Sydney Airport as such. But we needed an airport that was on the ocean or a bay, to allow Noriko and Catwa to go fishing after work.
Spanner Squad Project Newsletter #4: Spanner Squad Locations
Greetings to our Spanner Squad Followers!
For those of you who have wondered out loud … “What do you need from me?” Well, here is where the rubber hits the road! Keep on reading and see how a testimonial from you may contribute to taking The Spanner Squad to the next level!
In the last newsletter I promised some example stories that are candidates for our first development efforts. I decided to send you the proposed locations of the stories first, to give better context to the stories.
Spanner Squad Newsletter #3: Introducing the Spanner Squad Characters!
Introducing … The Spanner Squad Characters!
We propose 9 core characters in the Spanner Squad, plus a number of other characters depicting other roles within an airline, and visitors from other airlines.
Most of the action takes place in Australia, at a big airport.
Please bear in mind, these are just general character descriptions that will evolve. The images are just suggested likenesses. For some characters, we have started creating more complexity in their back stories, because this will inform the personality of the character and how they act.
