user:The joy of all things

Yorkshire born and bred. Was in exile for many years, but happily moved back to Yorkshire in December 2017. I have spent nigh-on 30 years in the Royal Air Force, and I now work for the NHS.

I edit mostly about Yorkshire, but also I edit a lot on rivers, roads, railways and (of course), the Royal Air Force.
