Welcome to my Eleventh attempt at a
web site
This is me as I was in 1998, I am told
that I look nothing like it now and am tempted to say get an "air
cut"
I had got myself into a lather about
the eclipse that was due, a total in the Irish sea area so I set
myself up to take some shots before the world ended.
Here
is the result
I see that the site was started in
1999. I have since retired and have less time available but have
become interested in sextants, Aircraft types in particular. It
took me some time to get information together on these instruments
and decided I would try to assist others of a like mind with some
of the information I have gleaned over the intervening years.
Unfortunately I lost a lot of my original data when I simultaniously
changed ISP and then suffered a serious computer crash. I now
have more web space available so I hope to expand it with as much
of my latest data as I can cram in. I hope you will find something
of interest within and if you have anything you would like to
add or correct please feel free to email me at:-
