Now that is one thing I have never done ... but boy would I like to? Kayaking for 32 years ... electrical work, dabbling 'safely' here and there for perhaps a little less assisting with first fix during the rewiring of our house, wiring a plug in 'O' level physics and some other basics. When I left the RAF this became a little more formal with a few of those weekend, frequent flyer miles based, 17 D or Electrical Trainee courses. In the last weeks of my service I was able to complete my Civil Aviation Authority Private Pilots' Licence, in about 6 weeks. So do you think I can do more damage from the air or installing electrics? I am sure that there are many more jokes to be made at my expense ... though so far they have all left me laughing!
In between ... an Honours degree in Aeronautical Engineering ~ 400 Hz generators providing electrical power for avionics, the airworthiness 'joys' of electrical wiring loom fires due to carbon arc tracking across 'kapton' insulation. Then a Masters degree in Software Techniques for Computer Aided Engineering.
Here have a blue peter badge lol.
