User:Lidos

I am a retired postgraduate information scientist (similar to a librarian), living in Waterbeach. I am interested in aviation history, was the Curator of a small military heritage museum in the village (RAF Waterbeach 1941 to 1966, Royal Engineers 1966 to 2012) and have published a book on the subject.

Formerly I was the Manager of the World Data Centre for Glaciology in the University of Cambridge, UK. While working there I created a series of webpages on the 1996 eruption under the Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland.

I also have a spare-time interest in the history of outdoor swimming venues - or Lidos - in the United Kingdom. I was first recruited to Wikipedia as an Expert editor on this subject (considered to be of value to Wikipedia because of their in-depth knowledge of a particular subject).

My username was suggested to me by Commons:User:Fæ / User:Fæ.

The photograph on the right is of a beautiful outdoor pool in Iceland, probably heated geothermally. Sadly I have not swum in this particular pool, though I did swim in another geothermal public pool near Reykjavík. Occasionally, in the summer, I swim in Lago di Bolsena while visiting Gradoli (VT), Italy. Up until 2012 my local lido was in Waterbeach Barracks.

I was born and brought up in London, and am therefore interested in London and London Transport articles.
