Hello!
This place looks fantastic, and I appreciate the ease of the registration process!
My only engineering qualification is dropping out of uni before any kind of degree (and that's all of my non-engineering qualifications, too!
), but I'm a geek for (almost) all things that fly.
I was googling around for detail images of the Bristol Siddeley Orpheus and Napier/Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire. For no reason other than personal fascination with some very specific design details I saw mentioned elsewhere. Why yes, I do have too much time on my hands, how could you tell?
As I searched, results from this place kept coming up. And kept coming up. And kept coming up. And ke... you get the picture. I didn't, because I wasn't yet registered.
Consequently, I really had to register, and even if I contribute nothing else ever, I believe (my own, twisted) civility demands I should at least introduce myself.
Myself: knocking on 40, living in the valley of the Ruhr, mostly disabled (hence all that time on my hands...), mostly potato ("german"), bit Scottish (granny), entirely tired and bored by any "wunderwaffen", flying saucers, or any of the other things I was positively
delighted to find "discouraged" right at the top of the forum rules.
So. Hi!
