Lucky bugger - I've still got another 33 years to go (if I last that long!).

Seriously though, all the best for your retirement. Peter.

If it's anything like my working life it will feel more like 33 months. Time flies.

Congratulations on your retirement. Everyone I talk to who've retired tell me afterwards that they don't know where they found the time to work!

Take the time to enjoy what you like.....you deserve it.

Does this mean we will be entertained with even more tails of disasters befalling you on your modelling journey.  I do hope so, and I do hope you stay fit and well enough to keep us entertained for many years to come yet Peter 

Have a good retirement Peter  you  deserve it   

Now as  Trevor  said  lets see some  progress on your layout

All in good time, there are improvements but I just haven't taken images!  I keep forgetting!  Must be my age!  OAP, you know!

Regards, Peter.

That  sounds good Peter     

One of the best ways to  keep   a record i find is to  have my mobile phone  handy on the bench   take a picture   as you  go

Now thats  pretty good advice and one I will remember....cheers Nick.

As everyone else has said, congrats on retirement, may it be long and fruitful. I have just turned 60 and retirement isn't that far away now.

Little bit difficult that advice, I haven't got a mobile 'phone! 

Nor me, Peter. Intrusive little blighters from what I have seen of them. Have managed to live into retirement without one so don't think the situation will change anytime soon.

I've been given 3, all sit in a drawer, uncharged, any minutes left have timed out (as have not been used for over than 6 months) Neither do I have a pad or tablet nor kindle, no farcebook nor taitter account. I'm reasonably computer literate having worken in and taught electronics in the RAF and industry.

Yep, I agree. I had one when I worked but it kept ringing and I became a slave to it. So when I retired I got rid of it. Besides you don't need a mobile phone to take photographs - a camera will suffice and will take better quality photos.

Apologies for going off topic for a mo, but was that at RAF Halton Mike?

No, my instructing days were mostly at Cosford, plus a spell as  I/C continuation training in the Electronics centre at Marham; I must say I did find the RAF much better than working for a living" I stuck it for 23 years with only one full overseas tour - Middle East -and a few 6 to 10 week detachments to Singapore, Penang and Darwin.
