Me, Craig & Lana @ Cenarth Falls, Pembrokeshire

Personal Info
My name is Martin Lewis. I'm 33 years old and live with my partner of 15 years, Angela and two children, Craig (13) and Lana (7).

I was born and bred in the west Wales town of Pembroke and now live in Neyland which is where Angela is from and only a couple of

miles from Pembroke. I attended Bush Comprehensive school in Pembroke and left in 1987 to join the Royal Corps of Signals After Basic training (11th Signal Regiment, Catterick) & trade training (Comms & Sy Group, Loughborough) I was posted to 9th Signal Regiment in Cyprus. I left the Army in 1989 and started working on rigs offshore in 1990 as a Radio Operator. I spent my first 4 years working with Rowan Drilling on various rigs offshore Great Yarmouth, England, then after a couple of short term jobs offshore Aberdeen, Scotland I settled for another 4 years on the Transocean 'Kan Tan 4'.

I was very active from this rig on HF, some of you may have my QSL, MW0BRO/MM. I finished on this rig in 1999 and after a few short term jobs on other rigs once again I was the successful candidate for the position of Radio Operator on a brand new Exxon Mobil platform offshore Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea.

I worked onboard Jade for two years signing 3C5J and was then transferred to a new project onboard the FPU Zafiro Producer, in the same oil field. Due to an increased work load I have not yet been very active from the 'ZP' but this will be rectified shortly.
