GERKEN, Tom	C0688030 Air Radar Fitter B	Trowbridge UK Contact Web Site
I left the Air Force in 1975 after working on Victors, Vulcans, Lightnings, Hercules and joined International Computers Ltd (ICL) before it finally changed into what we now know as Fujitsu. I am still working and am an Operations Manager currently based in Bristol. I have in the last few years had a kidney removed due to Cancer, and have just had a total knee replacement. I can be found most weekends in muddy fields where I am acting as Clerk of the Course for Enduros and Moto Cross. I still ride a Road Bike but not as I used to!
