Hello all, I am a semi retired design engineer with a background starting in machine shops and progressing through to chief engineer at a large automotive supplier.

Now working part time as a consultant engineer and volunteering at a local steam museum, a windmill, on the parish council and village hall committee.

In the time I have available between work and volunteering, I have a range of projects in my home workshop.

Current projects include a large (2.3 litre) 7 cylinder radial engine, a much smaller 9 cylinder rotary engine, a tilting pedal driven tricycle and a couple of 1950s motorcycles.

I am a lapsed private pilot. I now satisfy my desire for aviation from building and flying models.

With every new project, I try to introduce something new that I have not done before.

I have joined this forum in the expectation of learning from other members.

Hi Pete, Welcome to the party. You have an interesting range of projects. I have worked in all forms of engineering for 60 years and am also a parish councillor of 35 years. I’m up near Hunstanton. Best wishes, Noel.
