Hi!! I'm Adrian Pingstone, 68 years old, with two sons: John (28) and Michael (24). I live near Bristol, in the south west of England.

I'm retired, after working at British Aerospace Filton for 36 years. My work included Concorde noise measurements (as an acoustics engineer), then studies of the effect of Concorde on the environment (as an assistant environmental scientist), and finally Airbus A320, A330 and A340 wing design (as a senior aerodynamicist).

My hobby is photography. I started contributing pictures to Wikipedia in January 2003. My pictures were taken on an Olympus digital compact (C750UZ) and, since January 2007, on a Nikon D50 digital SLR.

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)

For your seemingly endless collection of photographs. I never tire of looking at the aircraft and everything else. Thank you so very much for your contributions! --Makaristos 04:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
