Over the years, I have been taking photo's of 'most anything that moves. This has
generated a significant gallery of negatives and slides. Much of this gallery is of
aircraft.
Growing up in Lincolnshire, England, I lived in Bomber Country. Close by were fields
like Waddington and Scampton, further out were Coningsby, Cranwell and Binbrook. While
many fields have closed down, I was lucky enough to see the Vulcans, Lightning's and
Phantoms that were based at these locations. These aircraft provided the music; the Zenit,
Fuji, Olympus and Nikon were the recorders. Lincolnshire is still home to many bases;
AWAC's, Tornado's, and visiting aircraft, the modern attractions.
Leaving the UK for the USA was a wrench. Fighters and bombers are much rarer in the New
York metropolitan environs, so adventures to see these creatures have to be much further
afield, and more time consuming. However, I have paid visits to Seymour Johnson, Davis
Montham, Travis, Castle, Dover and Nellis.
Photo's from these various visits will be placed here for view.
Additionally, I am associated with a photo library run by a good friend, Gary Parson,
who is rapidly becoming a high profile aviation photographer. The library is called FFour, pay it a visit.
