He attended school and “wasn’t black enough for those lads - and not white enough for the others”.

He lost his mother at a young age. Dad remarried to a South Asian family and the family now has proud religious and cultural heritage from that region.
An incredible journey.

With the news of @DefenseSoucy teaming with @SupacatLtd for the UK, a few cool facts showing why CRT technology is awesome. (Note: this thread comes off a bit advertorial but its just that the tech is undeniably impressive and Soucy are the leaders in this field) 
CRT for those new to the tech is Composite Rubber Track (“rubber band tracks” colloquially) and is an alternative to conventional steel segmented track. Consists of a single piece composite track, with new running gear components (roadhweels, idler, sprokcet etc)
Called composite for a reason, its not actually just a giant rubber band, but a continuously cased rubber band structure reinforced with a range of composite materials as well as longitudinal and lateral steel cords.
