I should introduce myself. I'll be 57 at the end of September. I live in Norwich, England, but am originally from the centre of the Universe (that's Liverpool to the rest of you!). I was a Civil Servant for over 32 years before taking early retirement in June 2001. I suffered a heart attack in August 2001, and had a triple bypass in March 2002. I mis-spent my youth playing rock guitar in groups in the night clubs of Liverpool from 1969 onwards. If you are interested, go here: Main Page @ splinterliverpool.bravehost.com - A Bravenet.com Hosted Site I met Anne Jackson on my 21st birthday (she became my 'rock chick') and we've been married for 33 years. We have 2 children (one aged 30 in October, the other aged 28). Our son has a son, Myles, who will be 3 in December, and a daughter is due in October. I support Everton Football Club. The cross I have had to bear throughout my life is that my son supports Liverpool. Yes, he turned to the dark side! I love Gibson and Taylor guitars. I also have an interest in the Messerschmitt Bf 110.
welcome John ! friends please welcome a leading Avaition author in our field. some of you are familiar with John's "The Sting of the Luftwaffe" ~ Schnellkampfgeschwader 210/ZG 1 an excellent title I might add Erich ~
Welcome aboard John Vasco! Thanks for the background info. To receive high praise from our Erich on being an aviation authority is doubly impressive. Cheers! I just added the photo you sent me to the Rogues Gallery, you can access it via my signature.
A very warm welcome indeed to Mr Vasco ! 'An interest in the Messerschmitt 110...' is a splendid understatement ; my prized original copy of 'Bombsights Over England' is a keystone of my Luftwaffe bookshelf. ( And I'm still looking forward to seeing a colour profile of Rubensdorffer's aircraft.... )
