California Tour 2014
Iain Thomson - Adjutant
Iain started shooting at Kelvinside Academy in Glasgow when he was 12. A Glasgow University Electronics and Electrical Engineering graduate, he worked for Rolls-Royce for three years before joining the Royal Navy as a submariner, ultimately becoming the weapons engineer looking after the Trident system in HMS Victorious.
Iain was a member of the Scottish team to Canada (British Columbia & Connaught) in 2005, and this tour will be his third visit to California. The first was by road - Boston to San Francisco and back in 14 days, much to the surprise of the rental company. The second visit was for his honeymoon - this time travelling by air.
Iain is now retired and lives in Portsmouth with his wife June. He fills his time organising Royal Navy target shooting, walking his two Labradoodles, travelling and drinking wine. During the tour he hopes to drink some Californian wine and visit parts of the state he missed on his previous visits.
