:

born 1969 in a village called Heighington in Lincolnshire (UK) whilst being married i actually lived no more than 20 yds to the bungalow i was born in.

left school in 1986 and started as trainee computer engineer and have been doing the same ever since,

In 1987 found flying model aircraft to be sensible hobby (sort of), around sametime thought turbines were as much fun, got my first turbine sometime in the 90's, this was an APU from a military scrap dealer, this was a lucas APU from harrier, it was in bits and thats the way it stayed, a year later got hold of a whole one and didn't run it but swapped it for homebuilt FD3/64 that didn't run, bought parts for kj66 and made it run, sold that a few years later, bought phoenix mk4, few months later got phoenix panther prototype,

then got the prototype 150lb thrust Phoenix Condor ,then another KJ66, then Phoenix MK4, then prototype Panther, then another KJ66, then a super panther what ever next!!! i've gone jet engine mad!! i now only have 2 though, prototype panther and a super panther.

this is a couple of decades placed into a paragraph, a vey short paragraph.
