A retired aeronautical engineer from the Australian Department of Aviation. I am well-stricken in years, having served a considerable time in accident and incident investigation, and I have a certain yen for watches and clocks, their collection and repair, not to mention an obsession with Macintosh computers. Current hobbies are, apart from the computers of course, astronomy, building my next telescope, choral singing and amateur musicals. I generally make one or two stage appearances each year in amateur musicals or oratorio work. The picture is me being Colonel Pickering in My Fair Lady.
