Some Flying Highlights:
The one you never forget. First solo Cranwell North
1985.
Flying the secret Cold War deterrent from its hardened
bunker at RAF Bruggen around 1990. Our lovely Bolkow 208 Junior, still owned by
Derek.
On a Chippy run from RAF Halton
Flying Club
Trying to look competent on Red Nose
Day 1999 whilst colleague, Miles, looks away in despair.
(Hence a little computer manipulation of the BA logo)
Glide landing onto the grass at Cov
after C337 airtest when right main gear failed to lock down.
Spare time flying with a fantastic
set of people at Formula 1.

Flying down the valleys in the
BAe146 for the great approach to Saanen in Switzerland.
Doing OUZO's last flight from
Happy Days... now lost forever.
Virgin Sun RIP
A potential problem with a highly
automated Airbus can be a "monkey see, monkey do" mentality !!
One of the very last Sun flights
2001, with Martin and Jason showing why the airline will be missed by all.
An A340 has 4 thrust levers but no
control column, so how do you turn?
"What you do is press hard on
top of the right side of the panel like this... and she banks right, see!"
Looking up from the flightdeck at the
reflection of the A340-600 in the windows of the Terminal at Shanghai.
Current little beauty at our hilltop
strip in Northants.The fabulous Maule M5-235C.
I have also scanned a few of my
photos from my earlier days before digital cameras made it all so easy.
Such as the Cranwell Tiger above, flown by Clive
Moreton back in 1985, while I hang out the back of the cub being flown by
"Dickie" Bird.
