From a young age, I have been interested in flying aircraft. At the age of 17, I joined the Royal Naval Fleet Arm and eventually became an Air Traffic Controller, concluding my career as an instructor.
Whenever possible, I participated in flights with Royal Navy Helicopters, including four days flying left-hand seat with RNAS Culdrose Search and Rescue 771 squadron in Wessex helicopters—a significant experience from my time in the Royal Navy.
After approximately 30 years, I am now a qualified Flight Instructor for Gyroplanes and a private pilot for helicopters. Currently, I own an Autogyro MT03 Gyroplane and share ownership of a Robinson 44 Helicopter.
Although my career has not always been centered around aviation, training and instructing have been consistent themes throughout the years.
I look forward to flying with you.
