Add another tick to the the IT box. Live in Devon but currently work in Reading for a large IT company which has recently been in the news for the wrong reasons.

I was a graphic designer, now I'm partly a joiner/carpenter/oakframer and slightly a graphic designer. What I can say wit certainty is I'm totally poor but very happy : )
 
I'm a biologist working in a veterinary research institute, trying to find cures for farm animal diseases. Although not in IT, I do seem to spend a fair part of my day looking at a computer screen (including the odd peek at this forum :oops: ).
 
Engineer working in aerospace. Looking forward to seeing the Vulcan tomorrow at Leuchars though. Woodworking keeps me sane!

Do you work for BAE then? My brother works for them and worked on EMC/Lighting Strike on the Eurofighter until a few months ago.
 
I'd like to see the Vulcan again, I worked on some of the radar transparent panels when they were in production.
Saw a Vulcan looped once at Farnborough, a sight never to be forgotten!

The Vulcan is based about a mile from my house so it flies overhead when its doing testing and things... a few of the guys that I work with have been involved with it in one way or another... unfortunately I've been at work everytime that its been out on tests which is a shame!!

PS. Job wise, I'm the eSales manager for Whitmore's Timber Co. Ltd

Thats one hell of patio you must have stig :lol:

You have no idea, I don't think I've got a photo of it on here but our garden is about 3 acres so plenty of room to roam wild and free.

Anyway, back to fixing the server.

I called BT today about the broadband and they told me that everyone one of their business customers had lost connection, lol. I bet there were quite a few technicians pulling their hair out!!
 
Quality Control Inspector for an aerospace machining outfit specializing in large aluminium and "hard metal" ( steel and titanium) structural parts. Next time you go on vacation I may have had a hand in making pieces for it. That should make you think twice about flying!!! :shock:

Started out as an aircraft mechanic and remember as a kid watching the Vulcan bomber performing at the Abbotsford Airshow every summer until they were retired. The newer stuff doesn't hold much interest for me any more.

Me neither. I worked on a number of first generation jets, things were exciting then, now it's all down to computers it seems.
I know, I'm old!

I agree with you Roy, as someone that into the old GA I must admit that I never want to convert from my little Piper Cherokee as its simple and you have to do everything yourself, the sat nav never gets turned on as its takes up too much time!

If I could I'd get converted to a Piper Cub although if my grandad had the chance it'd be a Tiger Moth just like him, lol.

I have a friend who works for Rolls Royce testing the engines and he tells me things that make me wonder about commercial jets.

On a side note, my parents booked two 1st class tickets (my inheritance) with XL two weeks ago... it doesn't look like they'll be going anywhere on Sunday!!
 
Metal fabrication/sheetmetal/welding...

Just about anything made from metal... steam engine stuff, structural steelwork, staircases, ducting, sculptures, gates. And a fair bit of site instalation aswell.

Nice varied work, a bit heavy and dirty at times though.

Just spoke to it today enroute to RAF Leuchars for the air display tomorrow. Got him to do a low approach and go around at work on the way past. Hope the people of Edinburgh and Fife appreciated it.
 
I haven't got a job, i'm a student :D sitting my GCSE's this year :( . But i do have a job down my local wood yard when i'm not at school, which funds my liking of tools and also supplies me with the wood i need for almost nothing. :D

Parents help too :lol:
