Hi!! I'm Adrian Pingstone, 66 years old, with two sons: John (26) and Michael (22). I live near Bristol, in the south west of England.

Thankfully I'm now retired, after working at British Aerospace Filton for 36 years, mostly on Concorde noise and environmental problems, and on Airbus A320, A330 and A340 wing design. My hobbies are playing with this computer, photography, and trying to keep my house and garden (and wife) in order.

I started contributing pictures to Wikipedia in January 2003. The vast majority are my own, taken on a digital camera.

I award you this barn star award for clearly pointing out Wikipedia copyright laws to me and for improving many a page with your wonderful images (including a Libya related page). It is for that reason, I award you Wikipedia's very first Libyan Barnstar Award. Keep up the good work! Jaw101ie 16:59, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
