Biography

Im also a member of the RSGB and the RNARS (4819).



Our local club T.A.D.R.A.C. (Tintagel and District Radio Amateur Club) Which Im very proud to be a member of.

Ok thats the radio stuff, married with two children, boy & girl. I live in a 400 year old ex farm house, at Tintagel North Cornwall. Its the best place in the world, lush green grass and open sea views (also rains alot!). Job, I have worked in the Royal Navy for the last 24 years, due to leave after 22years, then got asked to stay for a extra 5 years. Said YES must be MAD ! Untill Jan.2007 I worked on the combat system, now I fix and maintain the comms system.

Two Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, Former Yugoslavia, Northern Ireland & More Gulf Tours-Just Lucky!



Well its now 29/6/2011 I left HMS Cornwall today, my last sea draft. I now take up a job instructing new recruits for my last two years in the Navy. Then that will be it, 27.5 years done!!
