Drive safe my friend and perhaps a few pics you've shared with me would be of interest to others here! Live well, laugh often, love much Dan and Florina!! JIM
I hope all stays well for you and your family Dan.
OK - Maybe time I should properly introduce myself shed some light here too.
1. Met my wife, Gail (known to many of you) in 1978 when a group of us were playing table football - I recall she attacked my mate Andy. I didn't learn
This is how I can frequently be seen.
2. I worked for 25 years in Telecommunications, starting out as a Software engineer. I moved onto Public Phone networks (carrying millions of calls per hour) and, as account manager for all the major ISPs during the early period of the internet when everything was dial up (remember that?), I had 250,000 phone lines installed in 12 months and also signed a £4m contract for a single circuit to the USA while never meeting the guy who bought it. Interesting times.
3. I now work in broadcast for the company that owns and operates the tallest freestanding building in Europe, yet nobody lives or works in it full time. I've been up to 865 feet to the gallery in the photo. Its a great view although the lift it is a nine minute bone-shaker of a ride to the top and back, with special instruction on how to escape if the lift stops. It takes an hour usually to climb down the ladder. The trap door in the floor at 865 feet gives you something to think about. The white dots are sheep.
I also had a photo printed for the wall in the restaurant - Its 3m high and 12m long. Here it is going up, and then down, and up again, .... 3 attempts at £4k a shot - Oops.

Howdy everyone - I'm Matt
1. I am a photographer and run my own wedding photography business
2. I am a qualified personal trainer (but definitely not fit enough to be one anymore!)
3. I am a kit kat chunky addict!
Nice one Matt! Good to see this thread running again. I'm sure we still have a fair few here that haven't posted. Come on now don't be shy!!
1. My interests are ice hockey, cricket, motorbikes and photography
2. I was forced to retire from ice hockey after playing for 37 years due to my love of motorbikes
3. I wish I was an engineer....instead this is me in my day job

It is time I made my contribution.
1. I left school at 15 and joined the RAF as an apprentice, I did 14 years decide I had had enough of working on aeroplanes and left.
2. After about a year I decided that I was wrong and returned to aviation with Dan-Air.
3. I have always loved Motor sports and belonged to the Farnborough district motor club where I enjoyed autotests, spriints and trials.
In later years I was able to achieve one of my greatest ambition and get a pilots licence but have had to stop flying lately as the aeroplane Which I used is no longer available.
This was one of my best experiences.

Between us me and my other half share three of those four interests. He's the photographer, I'm the major cricket fan and we both follow ice hockey....Coventry Blaze....they're having a rubbish season though.

Yes but only from the back seat, did some aerobatics and a bit of formation, but I wasn't in control for the formation. It was a course at Goodwood.
Your going to make some people very jealous!
Wow! What a thrill that must have been!! JIM
