My Egmond Rambler
2ES1 from 1968
My name is Hans Gatu and I
am an engineer in electronics since the late 70's. I
live in Sweden
and I work as a design engineer in the
electric, the electronic and the mechanical fields.
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.
Music has always been
important to me. I am actually not a guitarist, but a
drummer. However, I like guitars and think it is fun
and I play a little at home. Almost all of my guitars
comes from flea markets. They have costed from €2 to
€20 and were, more or less, broken with missing parts,
such as bridges, etc. Then I have restored and
improved them.
I have several different
interests: Among my interests is amateur radio and
vintage caravans (see my other web sites: www.HEATHKIT.nu
and www.OPIO.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.

not a wheel. The Rallye/Koliber is a real plane )
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 (the
Dragon) 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.

Church
Vocal Ensemble).
