| About me...... |
| Hello there, my name is Ritchie. I live in north eastern England and am 20 years old. I strife to be a respected musician. The music I listen to/play is not exactly popular in the UK as the market is full of US nu-metal and manufactured pop music so I know I'm not going to be a 'Rock Star', but as long as I can pick up my guitar and enjoy it, I don't mind...i can always keep my day Job!!. I'm also mad on aviation. Jet Bombers and Fighters in particular. Some of my fave aircraft cannot fly at the moment (example : EE Lightning), but there is always hope!!!! I can often be found at the North East Aircraft Museum drooling over the Avro Vulcan (my fave aircraft). You may also notice on this site that I have an interest in Railways. I always wanted to drive diesel locomotives, however like my interest in Aircraft, some of the locos I like are no longer in service and now in the hands of preservationists or sadly scrapped. Some have returned to the Main Line as the enthusiastic following combined with dedicated preservationists has gone up. before proceeding with the site, I'd like to thank the following people : My Dad for standing by me through the tough times and being there when I struggled. My Grandmother for supporting me. My Grandfather (sadly passed away April 2nd 1992 -R.I.P). without him being there for my early years, I would not have been inspired to do what I wanted. all my Family My wonderful Girlfriend Fiona and her Family - she has changed me into a much better person. the guys at the North East Aircraft Museum. the following Musicians : Martin Campbell, Paul Harrison, Kevin Stanbury, Brian Arthur, Darren Leck, Paul Stewart, Ben Wilkinson, Richard Elliott, 'Buster' Chaytor. Lewis Wilkinson, Debbie Moore, Nicole Huddart, Billy Fogg, Mike Forster, Spike Hale, Kev Charlton, Anthony Hall, Simon Paepalo, Sean Jeffries, Glenn S. Howes, Jez Andrews, Robin Webley, Andy Ridden, Bruce Turnbull, Andy Wood, Grant (sorry mate, I've forgotten your surname!), Doc, and of course Jason Marshall, Andrew Brotherton and Chris Mason. a very big Hug goes to Jason, Evil_Loucifer and Carl!!! the Deltic preservation society for giving me a great day out (June 7th 2003) my work collegues and everyone else I know.....you may be on here some day!!! :) |
