Bristol was where I was born and raised. I
started my career in computing working for Singer Business
which was eventually taken over by International Computers
Ltd.
I worked on the
ICL System 25 and
System 10. Much of the work was carried out at British Aerospace
(Now
BAE systems) and
Rolls Royce where worked on Data Collection Systems for
production line for amongst others
Concorde and the its
Olympus engines.
It was this which gave me a fascination for
all things to do with Aircraft and flying.
I started a partnership in 1982 of
which I was the technical director until I took up contracting
in January 1993. I have worked for various clients in and
around Bristol, namely Thorn Transit (Wells) and Swift
Computing.
Bristol is famous for its suspension bridge,
Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who
designed and also built
The Great Britain Steamship.Bristol
is also well known for its
Aerospace industries,
Concorde and a mighty fine sherry called
Bristol Cream.
