My name is Justin Woolgar and this website/blog is dedicated to my various jet engine, radio and electronics projects. My interest in jet engines goes back  years having spent many hours on long haul flights as a kid. A couple of years ago I constructed my first  propane -powered DIY jet engine from an old turbocharger. This engine worked very well and got me hooked. I progressed to larger projects including a Landrover powered by a Rolls Royce Nimbus turbojet all the way through to an enormous RB211 turbofan. I live in a fairly remote area in South Wales on a small holding which I call “The Woolgar Test Facility” (The WTF) where we can fire up turbine engines without disturbing too many people apart from the sheep.

Also on the site there are a number of electronic and amateur radio projects that I have built. I operate under the callsign GW0FZY and particularly enjoy CW and chasing DX. So if you’re  into ham radio hope to meet you on the air and have a chat.
