Hi,

I am a retired Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner (The Rockapes) served 31 years and was medically discharged at the Rank of Flight Sergeant.

In the Regiment I did it all, Parachuting (Far East Air Force Rescue Team).  Signals Instructor. First Aid Instructor.  Rescue Instructor. Nuclear-Biological-Chemical Defence Instructor. Qualified Weapons Instructor including  All Infantry Ranges and Demolition. Helicopter Machine Gun Instructor (Door Gunner). Drill and Ceremonial Instructor.

So no tech training :)

Served all over the world.

Operational service

Hong Kong

South Arabia (Aden and the Yemen)

Northern Ireland. (Belfast and Rural Patrolling.)

Oman-Dhofar (Second Dhofar War).

Falklands.

Bought my first Amiga A1200 in December 1993 and was facinated by its simplicity and power.

Got deeper into the Amiga since my discharge in 1997 and it has kept me sane (mostly).

Founder member of Lincolnshire Amiga User Group aka LAG see http://WWW.lincsamiga.org.uk/

And I'm 60 years old next year :)

Regards, Michael
