    You cause a few blackouts on an offshore vessel, and do they remember you for engineering?

    No! They call you "Black Al" !

    My first name is Noel, it's a nickname I've had since whenever Smashie and Nicey came up with it for Mr Edmonds.

    I was clean shaven for many years which just led to people asking about the name. In the end, I grew a beard and I keep it neat just to shut them up :-).

    I'm into music. The tuning reference 'A' has 440 vibrations per second. It seemed suitably obscure at the time.

    When I had just started work at 16, we were working doing some repairs and minor building works on a house in Liverpool near me and the old girl who lived there was more than a bit Mutt and Jeff and asked one of my co-workers what my name was to which took as hearing "Reg". It's actually Greg.
    From then on the lads called me Reg or Reggie and it has stuck.
    The 2nd part of the name - my old man (bless him) had a passion for aircraft and airshows and when I was a nipper, we traversed the land watching the buggers which developed my interest in aircraft and flight so much so, that I learned to fly, got my PPL (D) and bought a Microlight when I was 20.
    It seemed appropriate that to append 'Reggie' with one of the most famous aircraft of all time, the Boeing '747' Jumbo Jet so there we have it...
