The items shown here reflect my own lifelong passion for all things Aviation, an interest that started in childhood in the Fifties.

Because my father was heavily involved with the aircraft industry, I was lucky enough to spend school holidays on sales trips with him visiting A.V.Roe’s, Fairey, Bristol Aeroplane, Westlands, Hawker Siddeley, BAC etc. Due to his involvement, I was also able to attend the Trade Days at Farnborough Airshow from 1955 (age 3!) to 1966, and have many memories of some of the great British Aircraft of the time, the SR53, Fairey Delta 2, Boulton Paul 111, protoype Harrier (P.1127) Lightning (P.1A) and such sites as the scarmbling of 4 Vulcans (with attending Victors) and the memorable time when the Black Arrows looped 22 Hunters......and the memories go on !
