GERERAL COMMENTS

I have been involved in the aircraft industry for the past thirty plus years, in which time I have gained a lot of experience while sometimes working under difficult conditions. During my time of employment in the aviation field, I have been involved in the process of fuel testing in aircraft.

As I am a single person without any dependants (divorced), I am in a position to do contract work abroad.

I have enjoyed the opportunity to come in contact with many new cultures and people of various nationalities and look forward to new opportunities in this regard. As a result of all above mentioned employment duties and responsibilities I have considerable experience in ground handling of aircraft, ground support equipment operation, refueling and de- fueling of aircraft, fuel testing, towing and marshaling of aircraft, maintenance of aircraft as well as general mechanical fitting experience.
