New chap from Wiltshire

Posted by Roger Clements on July 4, 2009 at 1:42 pm

Hello one and all. Just a few lines to introduce myself. I am ex Royal Air Force and a few other things…..I left the RAF in Sept 96 after 28 years and ventured into civilian life mostly staying in the world of Aviation. For 7 years I worked and flew with a Ukranian Cargo outfit and must have taught them too well as they made me redundant. A couple of other minor jobs ensued including a stint in Kabul….wow that was fun….no really. Which brings me to here. My last job was one I was thinking of walking away from until it was disestablished so it saved me the bother. You never saw a happier guy the day I left that one.

So after much thought and research…including this site I find myself with a workshop…a Graphtec 5000-60…a brand new computer..a stock of vinyl and a copy of Corel x3 winging it’s way to me.

All I need now is a shot of expertise…cant find any on Fleabay….and some customers.

I’m really looking forward to my new venture and can reassure those here with years of experience…Im not looking to walk before I can crawl…it’s a business not a past time or a quick ££ for me…..oh yes I also ordered a copy of Phils book…..so it looks like a lot of reading and learning from here on in…
