      Hi Abbey,
      When I was really little, I wanted to be a fireman…
      But when I grew up a little bit more I started to really appreciate engineering, I wanted to be an aircraft mechanic / pilot in the RAF from the age of around 12.

      I think if I could press a reset button, and start again knowing what I have achieved so far in my life, I would probably not choose to be a fireman!
      I don’t think I am emotionally strong enough to deal with the accidents that they have to help with! Firemen have my upmost respect along side doctors, nurses and policemen!

      However, to be a military Aircraft mechanic or even a pilot is still very interesting to me, and if I could I think I would give it a try!
