Hi Guy
Sorry it was really a rhetorical question! -- good to know your a Sparks.
I was a Captain in the Merchant Navy then a Marine River Pilot for 27years.
These days very happily(retired) but do an odd day in the local model shop - they seem to think I know something about this game.

You mean in a tenuk kinda way?

[wazzer]

Well I am a mechanical design engineer by trade

I started off my carrer building formula 27 Kit cars at the factory
I then moved on to build Austin Healey 3000 replicas for a company called HMV
After that i joined a company designing and building conveyor systems for big companies such as NEXT and Kellogs
I then decided i had enough of the UK and my missus and me went traveling
Actually the more accurate story is that my girlfriend said i'm off travelling are you coming with me?!

We spent 6 months in india (her family has a small hotel in southern Goa and then came over to Borneo.
We met some really cool people here and they offered us work.
To begin with we managed a restaurant which was a steep learning curve and I am now the assistant head of engineering for a group of companies (14 altogether) and the girlfriend has been made the Human resource manager and also runs on of the companies which is a luxury yacht charter company.
So G Dave do you fancy a job skippering one of our 55 foot sunseekers??

Borneo is a nice place to live fantastic weather all year round beautiful scenery and best of all really Cheap Helicopters and bits.

Anyway sorry about that

Got a bit carried a way and went on a bit!
Well you did ask!

Cheers
Ben

P.S. my avatar picture is actually me in the 44 (just passenger not pilot)with freinds flying over an island where i have a project i am working on!!!

Hi Antsis What is crystallography then sounds very scientific

[antsis]

Crystallography is basically shooting protein crystals with an x-ray beam and recording the diffraction pattern. A bit like shining a torch at a prism. The difraction pattern shows how the crystal is structured. Used for drug research mainly.

I look after the x-ray generators and detectors.

[wazzer]

so you must be pretty clever then???? :wink: :wink:

[antsis]

Same as anyone in a similar position.

It would make a change from the 200 metre Car Carries I was bringing in the Tyne at Newcastle.
