Memories, what I used to do for a job.

Rekindled interest after a trip to Duxford today, I used to work on these babies. Ah good days.

 

well I'm impressed,were u doing techie stuff?what were that baby"s parents like?

 

Was that techie PT2? did that building have parents at all do you know/did you even care ?>bit more info re "oversee" ,generic term (imo) like you could perhaps be sat at gate signing for the delivery?as we all embellish our job title/description , you could now refer to yourself as a "road warrior ,tarmac terrorist, big wheeler, king of the road...."<see?

 

Light the fires,kick the tires and watch them punch a hole in the sky

Twin man twin fan fighting can

 

Or @poptop2 could just call himself "forgetful old codger". Have you ever forgotten where you parked the truck before Malc love??

 

I used to do stuff like this:



and this



Till injury forced a desk job upon me I know which job I preferred. Still go my old Huskie 262 XP though if I ever fancy making some noise

I got a job fixing these

but I wasnt very good so they told me I had to fix these

But I wasnt happy with that so i got another job developing these

and these

and strangely these

That went TU and I got a job building and reapairing these

i gave that up as the money wasnt there and made these for a while

that wasnt exactly my calling so I got a job fixing these


Then doing this


which I did for quite a while until I got a job telling other people to do. And the last 20 odd years have been a blur!
