I recently completed my sixty second orbit of our star, and am now into the sixty third. I am English, born in the West Riding of Yorkshire in 1949 in the month of August.

I work for a German Medical company as one of their Field Service Technicians. After School I served in the British Army. On leaving the forces, I trained as a Radio,TV and Electronics Mechanic and spent time working for thorn EMI as a TV and Video Repair Technician. With the demise of the TV and Video Rental Industry, I moved into Electronic Printing in the Security Print Industry and Then into Medical Equipment for an American company that Designed and built Vital signs Monitors. This progressed to Neonatal resucitation and Warming therapy Equipment and I now work for my current employer mainly on Anaesthetic and Ventilation equipment.

My interests are numerous. currently I am reading and learning about the work done at Bletchly Park during the war. This was triggered by two excellent Timewatch Programmes delivered by the BBC. The most recent regarding Colossus and its Inventor Dr. Tommy flowers and his team, and the work done by William Tutte on the Lorenz Cipher.
