Time served apprentice. Started out to be a toolmaker but the company needed more inspectors so I finished as a quality control inspector with C&G's in tooling and inspection or something like that. Still with the same company, (31 years in September), but more of an engine mechanic/maintenance role. Engine bolted to a test bed, connected to a dyno, press a button, run, service, continue, take it out, pass to someone else. Not a bad job but since they sacked our plumber we are having to use our "skills" to keep the place running.

Used to fire lovely smelly black powder in muskets and artillery :good:

Happy to be a plinker to keep hubby company on the range.

Our club president was a Wellington pilot and a chemistry teacher. Sadly passed away a few years ago.
