| NE stats: 11 x 3rd, 13 x 2nd, 13 x 1st O/A placing. Class winner: 95/96 season. Profile: Approached Northern Exposure during the 94/95 inaugural season, after an invite from Dick Lee/Karl Ellis. Originally used to compete with Richard Edwards, then teamed up with various navs, most recently completed the 00/01 season with Gwyneth Loader. I’m generally taking a more relaxed attitude to NExposure with the emphasis on fun and a good social night out! Have been known to sit the LH seat on a couple of occasions but generally sick as a result! Hobbies include aviation, photography, motor sport, walking and cycling. My main interests being aviation and aviation photography. Although I used to glide, the money ran out and the weight went on, hence my ‘wings were clipped’ A few years further on and I’ve taken to photographing or writing about aviation. I submit articles / photos / stories to books or magazines as a freelance in my spare time and have had quite a bit of work published. As well as aviation magazines, the RAF and aviation manufacturers have also published some of my work. A recent example of this was a 7 page magazine feature on the Central Counties Police Helicopter, which was turned into a sales brochure for McAlpine Helicopters. At the moment the photography does not provide an income but simply provides a way of paying for itself whilst letting me indulge in my hobby. During the past year for example I have flown in three different police helicopters, had access to non public areas of Cosford Museum, spent a day flying with RAF Falcons Parachute team and have had press access to various aviation events. Coming up shortly I’m going to be taking some air to air photos for….’a new air taxi service’ – can’t say anymore yet! On occasions I have also be known to take the odd motor sport
photo and have had some success in this area. I’m always happy to take or sell photos of cars or machines that fly but please don’t ask me to take photos of people or photos in the dark…… A recent specialty of mine has been photographing
aircraft at low level flying in valleys below where I am situated. If you
would like to purchase a print, have a relative or friend who flies in the
services and might be interested in setting up a shoot, or require a
photographer for a single venue event please do not hesitate to contact me
