Grew up around aircraft.
Dad was very active member of Sheffield Aero Club in the 1970's but never actually learned to fly due to a lack of time/money. Spent most of my formative years with him at Netherthorpe and started flying aeroplanes sat on peoples knees at the age of three.
I progressed to working behind the bar in the clubhouse whilst at college and then as soon as I started my first "proper" job spent every spare penny on flying lessons - been totally broke ever since!
