Help For Heros

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

You may not know, I spent many years serving in the Royal Air Force, both as an airman and finishing my career as an Engineering Officer.

The Volcano – my impressions

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Just thought I would put a quick article out on the great Volcano! A topic I am well acquainted with being as I am currently in Bahrain; I must add that even though I am waiting for a return flight I am in a far more favourable position than the vast majority of other people trying to get to Europe, I can anticipate another visit to BAhrain and continue to work. I have been an avid viewer of all the various news sources, both offical and un-official. I have been impressed with the speed and responsiveness of the social media sites, particularly Twitter.

Another in the random series from the coalface of  our industry – what I have a seen and thought recently! I might as well put the enforced time away from home to good use! (more…)
