ABOUT ME Hi! I'm Adrian Pingstone, 84 years old. I live near Bristol, in the south west of England.

I'm retired, after working at British Aerospace Filton for 36 years. My work included Concorde noise measurements (as an acoustics engineer), then studies of the effect of Concorde on the environment (as an assistant environmental scientist), and finally Airbus A320, A330 and A340 wing design (as a senior aerodynamicist).

I started contributing pictures to Wikipedia in 2005. I use a Nikon D5300 DSLR and Nikon 18-200 mm lens for aircraft pictures, and a Panasonic S95 compact and a Panasonic FZ1000 bridge camera for all else.
