Never got on with Mecano, I too prefered Lego. My dad was in the industry to, so it was inevitable . My head prevented me becoming a pilot (i.e it was too far from the ground, I could'nt see out of it too well and it was empty!!!). But I always wanted to work around aircraft. Dad did try to put me off, he eaven tried to make me an ELECTRICIAN!!!!. But I found my own leval amongst the grease guns and stuck toilet dump valves!. I have been doing it for twenty five years and I think I'll stick at it, mind you if I won the lottery I'd be gone in a shot!.
