I.C. says...
Left RFC in 1968, posted to Fort Dorset Wellington to complete apprenticeship. Posted to Riccarton Rd, and left RF in 1970-71. Worked as Refrigeration Engineer in Chch and left for Auckland in Dec 73. Worked with various companies until 82, then started my own refrigeration business with a mate, 10 yrs later he took me for $350K. Started a new business in 93, sold out to Chubb in 2000. Still own a sheetmetal business, but work as an Air conditioning refrigeration and ventilation consultant for myself and the tax dept. Have a lovely launch in Pine Harbour, keeping me broke but happy. Look forward to hearing from anyone from the past.
