I served as a Retained Firefighter at
Godalming for 41 years. I joined in October 1975 and received
my training at our Brigade Headquarters in Reigate the following
year.
I'm married to Sue and have a Daughter
Clair, and a Son Paul. My pastimes include Travel & Scuba
Diving.
I was employed at
British Aerospace Dunsfold, "Home of the Harrier" for
15 years. For 8 years as an Aerodrome Firefighter. Then because
the shift system was restructured, I was unfortunately moved to
the Security Section, where I spent the remaining 7 years. The
site at Dunsfold has now been closed, and I have been made redundant.

As you can
imagine my family have to be very understanding, having me running
out the door when my pager sounds, which can be several times
a day during the busy summer months.
My wife has
only thrown dinner at me once during our marriage, the evening
of our Wedding Anniversary! yet another call.
