I have worked for big companies like Ericsson and ABB but also for small companies. I have also been a teacher in electronics, in tele-communications and in photography.

Engineering and techniques, of all kind, has always caught my interest. When I bought my OPIO I was actually looking for a Polar Diplomat. At the time, I did not find any, but then I happened to see the OPIO caravan. I could not resist to buy it. Later I also found, and bought, a Polar Diplomat. I started the restoration of it, while I already had started the restoration of the OPIO. Of different reasons, I scrapped the Polar Diplomat, though.

I have several different interests: Among my interests is amateur radio (see my other web site: www.HEATHKIT.nu). I also have a genuine interest in aviation. I began pilot school in 1981. I flew the Morane Saulnier SOCATA Rallye (M.S. 880), a French design with very good characteristics. Later the design was sold to Poland and was renamed to PZL Koliber (PZL 110). In 1982 I flew by my self for the first time.

My pilot lessons was taking place at Hassleholm AeroClub. I have now landed permanently, due to economical reasons. I am still very interested in aviation though and I am a member of the F10 Fellowship Association at the former 10th Wing Airforce Base in the Swedish Airforce, where I did my military service in 1980. I was then an Aircraft Mechanic and I worked mostly with the J35F "Draken" fighter. At the former 10th Wing Airforce Base is now a very fine Airforce Museum. Another museum where I am a technician is the Hassleholm Military Museum. For some years I have been a K9 Dog Handler in the voluntary part of the Swedish Army, the National Home Guard.
