MY CV
My name is Brian, I am a Motorhome enthusiast, amongst other things, and retired.
I my wife called Avril, you won't see her on my site as she is shy of exposure.
We live in South Wales, a country west of and part of the United Kingdom.
My working career produced many years of experience in Computers, Electronics, Mechanics, etc., The Computer knowledge was forced on me in the last 10 years of my employment, I'm glad to say. So now I build and service computers as a hobby, as well as run our motorhome.
Producing this Web site is a new experience for me, but I recall in the old days writing programmes in BASIC, for the original Amstrad & Sinclair computers. While HTML is not quite the same, old skills are being used on this production.
The photographs in my site are from a simple digital camera,
Over the period of my working life, I was a British Railway Steam engine fireman, 1952 to 1958, 2 years in the British Army as a National Serviceman, with the Royal Engineers, 10 years a Press Tool setting mechanic, where I learned my engineering skills in their excellent training facilities. During this period I maintained my own car, having rebuilt the engine three times during the 12 years ownership of a 1958 Ford Anglia. 40 years ago we didn't change our cars so often, they weren't so reliable and it was expected we would develop maintenance skills on the car. These skills are now very handy in reducing garage costs and the satisfaction of knowing the job was done!
I also spent 26 years working for a well known American Electronics manufacturer, repairing and installing mobile radio communication equipment, including the new GSM mobile phone system in the UK. Ending up on computer maintenance of Servers.
As a hobbyist of 30 Years I have been involved in Amateur Radio, constructing and experimenting with my own transmitting equipment.
During the last 10 years of " idleness " amongst other things, I have spent time repairing and building computers, making use of computer technology, Internet, etc. and improving my Motorhome.
We purchased the Autohomes Wanderer Coachbuilt Motorhome in March of 2002. This is our second one. It has become another hobby, repairing and maintaining, down to the nuts and bolts.
We have toured with our Motorhome throughout Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, England, Scotland, and Ireland. We especially enjoy the sunshine of France. usually in May and Sept.
