Hi all, remember me ?
I was around during the Ken Irving, John Toone, Gurbir Singh, Mike (second name I forget) and many others.
Wanted to say hello to you all and hope to see you soon (been living abroad for some time).
I am a senior software engineer now doing Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airport systems.
My hobby is animation (I have had two films shown at the Cambridge film festival) and I did this only last week to show you I have never lost my interest in Astronomy and Physics. It is made using space engine, if you don’t know what that is (and you have a very powerful computer) I suggest you download it and have a play.
At YouTube.

Good to hear from Gurbir. Hope to meet up with Ken sometime soon. Take care all and keep looking skyward !!

Just to give you an idea about what kind of animation I make.

This is the only video of this song that the band signed a synchronisation licence for (contract between myself and Marillion) and the film was shown at the Cambridge film festival.
I would be happy to make some animation for the society. Maybe as a visual aid for a lecture ?
Just let me know if you want anything making.
keep looking skyward !!
