What more do you wish to know about me which you've not read already? I joined the Royal Navy as an Artificer Apprentice in 1962 at the age of 16. I studied Control Engineering for 5 years (when the computers I worked with had thermionic valves!). I was then promoted and attended BRNC Dartmouth in 1967. I underwent flying training as a pilot thereafter and flew Jet Provost, twin and single-seat Hawker Hunters and finally a Buccaneer. I stopped flying when the "powers that be" thought I might kill someone 'other than the enemy' (myself and/or my crew!). Still within the RN, I retrained and served as an ATCO (Air Traffic Control Officer) both ashore and afloat. I left service in 1983 under voluntary redundancy terms with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Thereafter, I became a qualified Independent Financial Adviser and worked for Marsh Inc here in the UK and became a Divisional Director. I volunteered for early retirement again in 1998 ( I was just 53) with the intention of working for myself or, perhaps, for a small local firm with less stressful demands. Tragically, however, my younger son, Nick, then aged 28, suddenly collapsed and died in Jan 1999 - no cause for his death was found. As you might imagine, my wife and I were totally devastated. We bought a narrowboat of our own (we had had a share in one previously) and set out to more fully explore the English waterways; it was highly therapeutic and has helped us to come to terms with our loss. After a while I decided that 'work' would be a four letter word .................. and I have remained retired! https://www.linkedin.com/in/boaterdave/ >>>>> https://i.postimg.cc/PJHpNbG2/lmgtfy.png >>>> >>>> My computer didn't like that page :-( >>> >>> In what way?
