About this title

About the Author

Born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire I became interested in flying at an early age. My first job in aviation was at my local aero club at Doncaster airport - the original grass airfield which has since been dug up and made into a lake! - working there at weekends, whilst still at school, as part of the ground staff. I also gained my PPL there just before the airport closed. After leaving school I undertook an aeronautical engineering degree course and this included a year working at a major international airport with an airline engineering maintenance company. After finishing the degree course I then completed an ATC training course and subsequently worked in the UK as an air traffic controller. In order to gain the ATPL qualifications I left ATC and studied full-time at the flying school in Jerez, Spain. Since returning to the UK after flying training I have been flying jet airliners for airlines based in the UK.
