PERSONAL STUFF

My wife Barbara on the left, then sons John and Michael, then me (Adrian).
Taken 1998 on a holiday in Austria.

Hi!! I started this site in August 2000 using HTML. Unfortunately I don't have time to prepare any more pictures so there will be no changes.

My name is Adrian Pingstone, I'm 65 years old and live in Yate in south west England. Yate is a town of 25000 people, 12 miles north-east of the city of Bristol. I was married in 1977 to Barbara and I have two sons: John (25 years old) and Michael (21 years old). Michael left school in June 2002 after completing an A-Level course in English, Mathematics and Business Studies and has just gained a degree at the University of the West of England in Bristol, in Economics and Marketing. John has completed his three years at the University of Essex very successfully, gaining a 2.1 Degree in Politics in June 2001.

I am retired from the Aerodynamics Department at British Aerospace after 36 years working for the company. I worked mainly on Concorde noise problems and Airbus A320, A330 and A340 wing design. My hobbies are playing with this computer and trying to get my house and garden in order.

We have no pets except for a plague of slugs in our garden.
