Hi All,

My name is Paul and I have been in the aircraft maintenance business for over thirty years. I have maintained and certified a wide range of aircraft, from early wood, rag and tube types through to wide body airliners.
Over the years, I have also collected a number of interesting aeroplanes; a Wirraway, an Auster Autocar and three Avro Avians.
My interest in this forum comes from wanting to learn more about metal shaping and hopefully apply any techniques and ideas gained to my projects. I figure the day I stop learning is the day I drop dead.

Thanks again for the warm welcome fellas!
I've been admiring the work on your thread to Ash. Bob's Mustang is coming up a treat, along with all the other projects.
