Web Site Objective:
|
The original intent of this personal web site
was to learn html, build a web site and communicate with family. Also, share information with people in the
aerospace industry, and share common interests / hobbies including
Jaguar Cars.
This website was created with
Microsoft Front Page 2003. Front Page often creates unpredictable
results for people browsing with Netscape browser. I test, but cannot test for all combination and
permutations of browser set up. A useful tip for people using
Netscape, set your default font size to 10 points using the
edit/preferences menu. I appreciate feedback for potential viewing
problems using my "feedback
page".
My picture on the RHS was taken in
San Diego 2006.

General Background:
After graduating in England with a Bachelors of Science
in Mechanical Engineering, I became an aerospace structural
engineer, working on the design and analysis of commercial and military aircraft,
helicopters, hovercraft, airships, spacecraft. Also, devoted a number of
years to being a rocket scientist. Currently I have 25 years in the
Aerospace industry. Please refer to resume page for details of my
aerospace career.
Although reasonably successful, traveled and lived in
several countries, the aerospace industry is a cyclic business.
Boom always turns to bust in approximately 10 year cycles.
If up and coming young persons are thinking of
starting out in the aerospace industry, my recommendation is to give the
industry a try if
you are a risk taker and want to explore the world. On the other hand if you like
job security, prefer to live in one location, or you are looking to earn a
"Large Wad", (English yuppie slang for "lots of money"), then look
elsewhere. This industry is not for you. The best aerospace opportunities
are within the small up and coming corporations. The larger corporations
are somewhat devoid of real career opportunities. Go to the
Aerospace Home Page to view listings of
Aerospace Corporations and opportunities.
Presently I temporarily reside in San Diego, CA, USA as
a permanent resident (green card), but also have a dual British and
Canadian citizenship. Any person thinking of emigrating to the US
must be for-warned. The process is generally inequitable, bureaucratic and requires a lot of patience and
persistence.
Weather:
For persons back in cold, windy and wet England I have
added a live web-cam picture of San Diego and the San Diego weather
forecast. We are rumored to receive lot's of sunshine each year, a
primary motive for locating here..
