I was born and educated in Chingford, North London. Joined the Royal Air Force at 15 years old as an Apprentice and spent 25 years with the RAF as an electronics technician.

 

On leaving the RAF I worked with  Marconi Systems at Rochester. I am now retired.

 

I have been married to Lillian for 45 years and we have two daughters and three grandchildren.

 

We have only been resident in East Peckham for a little over ten years but we feel that the village life and friendliness of its residents suits our life style.

 

My pastimes are fishing, a plentiful supply of DIY and renovating old British motorbikes.
