My work with the Bako Building kit developed an interest in building and civil engineering but the Meccano moved me towards mechanical engineering. Finally, a visit to the RAF BoB week display at Thornaby Aerodrome included sitting in a Meteor cockpit for a souvenir photograph and I knew I wanted to dismantle the instrument panel and find out what was behind it.
Avionics it is then...
...although I learned my basics by keeping my bicycle on the road, while turning it into a 'Tracker' (long before Mountain Bikes) and fine tuning the gearbox.
