Hi!! I'm Adrian Pingstone, 68 years old, with two sons: John (28) and Michael (24). I live near Bristol, in the south west of England.

I'm retired, after working at British Aerospace Filton for 36 years. My work included Concorde noise measurements (as an acoustics engineer), then studies of the effect of Concorde on the environment (as an assistant environmental scientist), and finally Airbus A320, A330 and A340 wing design (as a senior aerodynamicist).

My hobby is photography. I started contributing pictures to Wikipedia in March 2002, taken on an Olympus digital compact (C750UZ) and, since January 2007, on a Nikon D50 digital SLR.

At August 2008, I have contributed 19,000 edits to Wikipedia.

Barnstar

You have been bestowed with a barnstar, Adrian, for your long and meritorious work as Wikipedia's most prolific photographer. Whats more, from now on, I name you Sir Adrian Pingstone, Knight of the Defenders of Wikipedia in England.

For single-handedly illustrating hundreds of articles with your great public domain images, I award you this Photographer's Barnstar. May the Way of the Wiki stay with you forever.
Neutrality

I hope you like it!

Adrian, I'm awarding you this barnstar due to your fine (and prolific!) photography and generosity. I hope you like it! Neutralitytalk 02:29, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

Libyan Barnstar Award

Wikipedia's very first Libyan Barnstar awarded to Adrian Pingstone

I award you this barn star award for clearly pointing out Wikipedia copyright laws to me and for improving many a page with your wonderful images (including a Libya related page). It is for that reason, I award you Wikipedia's very first Libyan Barnstar Award. Keep up the good work! Jaw101ie 16:59, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
