    My first camera was a Zenit 3M SLR, which an uncle gave me on upgrading his camera. I then worked for Whitby's Cameras, but then decided to train  up as a machinist. My interest in photography continues ...

    This was taken before I had to give up riding motorcycles, because of the problems I now have with both of my legs. I did try out a Trike, but it's just not the same thing and then there's the issue/hassle of having to also lug around a wheelchair on the back for wherever I am going to!

    T stands for thinking of the things that they might face including not coming back

    T stands for turmoil of what they were going to face

    R stands for reflective mood the crew would be in before they go on a mission 

    I stands for intentness of the mission 

    T stands for the trust between the crew in the air and on the ground

    Finally let us to be proud of wearing the poppy and what it means

    lovely poem, @marybottomley, thanks @Pandapaws, it took around 14 hours to make, spread over a week or so, a less complicated version you can just see i'm making that for another friend, from the same mould just not as involved without the hoodie and base
