Hello everyone my name's Oli, and I've been interested in military vehicles for as long as I can remember. Listening to my grandfather talking about driving Artillery Tractors and Bedfords during the war at an early age probably influenced me a bit! And now finally I'm of an age where I've got enough spare cash to start looking at getting something!!
I've always liked the Bedford QLR and the Matador, and I hope at some point in the future (hopefully not too far, far away!), to get my hands on a Kettenkrad!
Day to day I'm a Commercial Pilot, but unfortunately with the current economic problems I'm unemployed, so it seemed like the perfect time to get myself something to do in the evenings/weekends to relieve the stress of job-hunting and interviews!
Other things that take up my time are an interest in the late-war Luftwaffe exotica, Ju 287, Do 335, Ho 229, He 177 etc, designing a heat recuperation system for modern turbofans and trying to stave off the "Captain's Belly" by doing some exercise!
Cheers,
Oli
