Description

Frank Morris is a tinkerer, builder and inventor from Northern Ireland.   After growing up on a "farm" and being inspired by the handiness of his grandas, he always messing about with stuff at a young age including radios, field cars and household appliances.   While touring in a band, he also got into building his own speakers and amplifiers before going to work full-time for BT.   Alongside his day job, Frank worked on many projects at home in his garage ranging from big to small: but none were as big as when he decided to build airplane.   (And learn how to fly it!)   In today's episode we talk about: - Frank's early memories - What it was like raking about as a youngster - How he built an airplane in his garage - And some of the highs/lows he experienced along the way.   Check it out!   //   To see a 'treasure trove' of all things related to Frank (including a photo) please visit https://bestofbelfast.org/stories/frank-morris-airplane   Best Of Belfast is Northern Ireland's #1 Interview Podcast.
