Deferred my National Service as long as poss. and managed to get Physics, Chemistry and Pure Maths with London University.

Did one tour with a Canberra bomber squadron, then went to BOAC on Stratocruisers. Then I got married and went to Silver City on Dakotas and Bristol 170s. Silver City became British United Airways, which became British Caledonian, which became British Airways — full circle, you might say...

Held the rank and title of Captain for more than 30 years, and served as Chief Training Captain with BCal for the last 10 years, also as a CAA examiner and Airworthiness Division Class A Test Pilot on Dakota, Dart Herald and BAC 1-11 aircraft and all their variants. Indeed, flying has paid my rent for 38 years...

I'm now in my 12th year of retirement and we do just what we like. My wife and I are heavily into flat-green indoor bowls and we both serve on the committees of our local club in Horsham, which has some 750 members.
