February 2007

I have finished my study and passed my exams for Ambulance driver...... HURRAY !!!! ;)
So finally some time again to update the page

• news
  
   

• february 20, 2023 : For Sale section updated
   

• february 5, 2017 : Having passed the 340.000 visitors I regularly get questions when i will be updating again..... Having been busy with my new job (HEMS crew member on the new Medical Helicopter EC145)
  I now finally have some spare time left and decided to write a few updates.
  This one is on the gas cape section with an update on the C.P. marked gascapes (finaly the maker could be identfied)

• october 21, 2014: More then 280.000 visitors in the mean time... not much activity lately here you think..., well, you're right but it had reasons:
  - moved to an iMac this spring (other Windows PC crashed, and i lost some material I was working on, so my "drive" was gone (lost all the notes which I used for updating my site)
  - had to learn to work with the iMac, and while it is a very stable environment, I still am looking for some software to work with
  - put Windows on my iMac with bootcamp, so I can use the best of both worlds ;)
  - picked up an old hobby (modelling) and made a new section : Military Modelling in which I will put up some models I made (just for fun) and the Tamiya Catalogues I collected in my youth
  - So basically I'm back to working to update my site and hopefully soon will show some new equipment items !!
