About

I worked in local newspapers before joining BBC Radio where I spent more than 30 years as a reporter, presenter, journalism trainer, producer and news editor in local radio and at the Asian Network national radio station, where I was its first News/Sports Editor and then Network Manager.

I have had a life long interest in aviation, especially British and American military. As a journalist, I was privileged to enjoy many media facility flights and deployments abroad with the RAF. I also helped the commentary team at the International Air Tattoo before it moved to Fairford. After leaving the BBC, I spent a few years as a freelance writer for Airmail, the quarterly magazine of the RAF Association.

I organise school and group visits at the East Midlands Aeropark aviation museum next to East Midlands airport. Along with other volunteers, we open aircraft to visitors on public days (see Connections for a link to the museum`s website).
