[Skerries]

Left ‘seagoing’ in 1981 after 10 years. Spent the next two years fitting out new builds and repairing duff radars and R/T sets on various craft. No money in it a rubbish hours. Ended up in Africa selling encrypted communications to military Governments, All very exciting at the time.
Got out back to ‘Blighty’ after escaping a couple of coupes and a potential locking up for being in the wrong place at the wrong time (completely innocently I might add) after the unfortunate death of an African President in a plane crash in 1986, Any ‘consultant ex pat’ was suspected of being perhaps something they were not after that!

Back to UK and into the world of burglar and fire alarm sales. Moved industry to ‘Highways technology ’ in 1993 ...... and still here with my own company. Past state retirement age....but couldn’t think what I could/would do with retirement. Work till I drop methinks.
