[andyparry]

Mechanical designer for global defence giant. I design the mechanics for the opto-mechanical helmets for fighter pilots, i.e. helmets with head up displays on the visors that enable you to look at your enemy over your shoulder and fire the missile off at them. I've designed and worked on a fair portion of the avionics in the Eurofighter, like the control stick, helmet, wing mounted black boxes etc....... If I told you any more, I'd have to kill you :-)

[Guest The Modfather]

Left school at 16, was in armed forces, then drove lorries for 8 years, then joined Met Police where I was for 13 years, working East London, always on the beat. Qualified as an advanced pursuit driver, and driving assessor up to and including Advance level. Then transferred to Thames Valley for last 2 years, still working the beat. I cannot sit behind a desk, and only ever want to be out on the front line doing proper copper's work! Just don't like shifts

I am however looking into becoming a protection dog handler and trainer in the private sector, using my own German Shepherds. One is 3 years old and the other is 5 months old and is showing excellent potential for protection work
