Hi folks, My name is Nathan Bosher, I currently work at the Royal New Zealand Air Force Museum at Wigram in Christchurch. I am the resident Safety & Surface Tech, meaning I am responsible for all our aircraft upholstory, flying clothing, life rafts, parachutes etc (thats the Safety part of the job title) and all of the aircraft /vehicle painting requirements (or 'Surface Finishing' in air force terms)
I spent 22.5 years in the RNZAF and then became a civilian defence employee when my time was up and returned to my old job.
A mate of mine collects military vehicles (and volunteers at the museum) and we have just finished building a canopy for a Lloyd Carrier (Starter & Charger version), over 150hrs of work.
Hobbies include Aviation art, land yachting, and Sled Dog Racing (we have Alaskan Malamutes) My wife, Paula, and I live on a ten acre propperty outside Christchurch and are expecting our first child in late November.
Cheers
