After a spell in the Royal Air Force as an Air Traffic Controller, based in Libya during the Suez war, I joined the Met Office and started work at Renfrew Airport in September 1957. The rest of my career as a meteorologist was spent in the UK and abroad, involved in weather observing, research, military aviation, computer programming, fax and phone services, as well as a brief spell on BBC television, before finishing my career in commercial meteorology at the headquarters in Bracknell.
I am now retired and living on the Moray coast but still involved with weather, writing a weather column in the Forres Gazette. I joined Rotary in 1987 with the Aberdeen St Fittick Club.
