Current Interests
Flight Radar
I built a feeder to download and process aircraft ACARS data on the Raspberry Pi, which I upload live to FlightRadar24. In rteturn for data feeding FlightRadar24 gives business access, with brilliant features.
Family Tree, Genealogy and DNA
My collection of resources I regularly use to continue research into my family history, uncovering heroes, skeletons and much more!
Holidays and travel
Resources to plan our holidays, city breaks and days out including visiting film locations of iconic TV shows.
Food and Health
Resources about food, recipes, and healthy eating. The strong relationship between gut bacteria, physical and mental health.
Household Budget
Resources to make our money go further. Some of our biggest spends should be reviewed every year and if necessary switched to suppliers who do better for less.
Also, great money saving reading. Across all the links it easy to save a four figure sum every year.
UK Weather
From a very early age, weather has been a fascination. Every type of UK weather has a use to me. Here's my favourite weather resources.
