This site is still under construction. Links may not work, or may do strange things, if one takes you to the Twilight Zone please tell me (assuming that you manage to get back). Also please excuse the rubbish and waffling I use as temporary fillers.

I am just a bod, somewhere on this planet (though sometimes off). My region is the little island bit off the west edge of Europe called the UK. The town I live in is Bournemouth.

I do various things to attempt to put some sort of meaning into my life, the three major items are sailing, caring for my family of rats & trying to move world-society on to its next stage of development

I also do modelling, and I fly my own aircraft. You can see one of my aircraft in the photo alongside, it is one of half-a-dozen or so I keep around. Any women who may be wanting to know more about this rich, gorgeous hunk can see me better in the photo further down the page.

For those who are interested, the aircraft is a replica of a Sopwith Triplane, a British scout (fighter) which flew in WW1. On its arrival at the Western Front it proved to be a revolution in British fighter design and turned the tide of Bloody April. However, it saw only a few months service before it was replaced by an even better aircraft, the Sopwith Camel. The Germans were so impressed by the Triplanes performance that they had their aircraft designers copy the three wing layout. The Fokker copy (Fokker Dr1) was the TripeHund made famous by the Red Baron.

It is okay for you to reprint any information you may find on this site as long as you give proper credit to the author of the article and to The Rat Fan Club. (I cribbed the page layout, sorry Debbie, but you had a nice layout.)

I am not registered as a non-profit organization (because of the red-tape involved) so donations are not tax-deductible, but you are still welcome to send donations to help me have a good time, support my rats, and research into the best places for sailing. Thank you for visiting!
