The following rhetoric is for those of you interested in my life and history

Why you would be interested in this information is beyond me - except maybe those of you who are related or find there is a need to know about the start of the Frank (Francisco) Martinez line here in OZ
 
I have had a long association with light plane flying spanning more than 50 years (@ 2007)
 
I was involved in an Auster forced-landing at Rocklea in the mid 50's (joy-flight from Archerfield) click HERE if you really want to know of details back then (copy of news article)
 
In 1973 I commenced a small business in the main terminal at Archerfield selling pilot necessities on a casual on-demand basis and within two years decided to go full-time as a self employed sales consultant (Grumman Light Aircraft) focusing on the private/business sector of flying and later with aircraft maintenance and repairs
 

After selling my hangar in 1995 (I had it constructed next door to Archerfield's Main Terminal building in 1980) I began designing "hand made" web pages for aviation based clients. I was able to maintain this activity for a few years before entering into a semi-retirement mode in late 2003 after completing my "mature age" study for a Diploma in Information Technology (Network Engineering) at the Yeronga TAFE in Brisbane
