User:The joy of all things

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yorkshire born and bred. Was in exile for many years, but happily moved back to Yorkshire in December 2017. I have spent nigh-on 30 years in the Royal Air Force, and I now work for the NHS.

I edit mostly about Yorkshire, but also I edit a lot on rivers, roads, railways and (of course), the Royal Air Force.

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar

Thank you for you time and knowledge, I am just starting out as an editor on Wikipedia, and would be glad for any tips, tricks and input. I am struggling to get pictures uploaded at the moment (and keep the bots happy), including a few photos (not mine) but I know have no copyright limitations as they have been distributed for free use.
