sanguin Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ladies and gentlemen, May I introduce myself as the new kid(?) on the block. I am perhaps not a typical member in that I do not possess, nor particularly lust after, an ex military vehicle. A youthful four year ownership of an ex WD BSA B40 as my primary means of transport convinced me that my father was indeed right. He was regular Army, 35+years, told me to avoid anything that the military had owned, be it a toothbrush or a tank. The BSA convinced me he was telling the truth! My name is John Peto, I'm 61 years youngish and I spent all of my working life in the NHS working in hospital Pathology Laboratories. I specialised in Blood Transfusion. I had a stroke at work four years ago and, having done my forty years, was pensioned off on health grounds. I have been married for thirty eight years, we have two children and five grandchildren and I am apparently an anorak. My interests are many, but one involves military vehicles and aircraft, primarily of Swedish provenance or use. I make model kits of them just for my own pleasure, a hobby that has insulated our loft and irked my wife for many years. However, local history has taken me into other bits of military study and so this seemed to be an interesting and appropriate forum. I live in a Kent village, drink too much beer, make too few models and probably laugh far too much. Mechanically I have no aptitude whatsoever; stopping smoking roll ups meant I could no longer adjust points, most of my spanners are rounded off and the club hammer is too heavy to use nowadays. Do I fit the profile for membership? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
