Yes please! But slightly (understatement of the year) underqualified I fear.

It's definitely something that would've appealed to me but for medical reasons I was taken off the track three years before I took early retirement. I still have 10 years in me, you might say, but at 55 and in my third year of retirement I see myself written off as a hasbeen for the most part. After 35 years in Communications and Signals I discovered very quickly that if you don't use it you lose it and every day it's more of a challenge to remember all that that I learned in my career. So my life is my hobbies and I can't see that changing, my challenge being to enjoy my retirement for at least as many years as I enjoyed my life up to that point! |

It does look interesting. Maybe in a few years....... I've had direct dealings with the RAIB (had to be interviewed earlier this year regarding an incident I was involved in) and was very interested to find out a bit about how they function, what they do etc.

Yeah, a few years for me as well. I got an information pack from the company as well which makes for interesting reading. I tend to do RAIB reporting in my job plus all the reports which are needed to follow things up. To report something to the RAIB is a lot simpler than reporting things to HMRI as you don't have to go through a small minefield of criteria to work out whether x or y is reportable (just in case you get poked in your eye with a pencil whilst doing a crossword in a waiting room at a station - it isn't reportable!) Mind you, it does help that I know the vice-boss as he used to be Operations Director where I currently work.
