Thank-you to John Lester for suggesting that we set up a board for Chief Engineers' profiles, as had previously been done for the Captains. 

Thanks also to Chief Engineers who provided information and forum members who constructed the list of Chief Engineers that has given me a starting point for building the profiles.
