Hi Truckers, Oh, maybe, that's too familiar just now?

I'm a (young) man who sees the reflection of himself in a shop window, that looks like his father and can't believe I'm really that old!!

I served an apprenticeship as a Diesel Mechanic in the early 1960's with a Leyland Motors Main Distributor in the UK.
Since then I've worked on Trucks, Buses, Marine Engines, Ships, Locomotives and specialised Industrial Processing Equipment.

Now, I've got a touch of nostalgia for the 'old Days', before, I get too old to be bothered, as I've observed with those 20 years or so older than me.

Not all, mind you!

I'd say that I was experiencing that time of life where things change and one is faced with one's own mortality!
If I was rich enough, I'd call it 'Menoporche'!

I usually escape reality by going on my PC and Flying Planes or driving Trains, Ships or Trucks.

All the slow passive stuff, of course.
However, occasionally, I enjoy the types of war games involving Ships and Submarines (and the odd Prop Plane).

I look forward to getting involved in this site and reading the interesting yarns and comments.

Thanks and all the best!
