I am David Jones and I am an ICT Consultant working for a manufacturing company in Retford, Nottinghamshire, though I started life after school training and qualifying as an horologist.
In the intervening years, I have undertaken the IAM Roadsmart Advanced Driver qualification gaining a F1RST result, later achieving a pass in the IAM Roadsmart Masters. More recently, I have qualified as an IAM National Observer. I am also a keen amateur photographer, an out-of-currency solo glider pilot, part time Spitfire pilot, Yorkshireman, and lifelong HTAFC fan.
