Chris Bevan
Hello,
I am interested in getting information about the display pilot Chris Bevan. I know that a man as modest as himself would never write an autobiography, but I am interested to know if anybody has written his biography. By all accounts he is an extremely interesting human being and I would love to hear stories of his younger display days and of his commercial flying. Thank you Daft of the datum |
Good luck with the project. Chris is a really nice guy and I have flown with him a few times. There is not much he hasn't done or flown.

I remember that he displayed Doug Arnold's Spitfire IX and P-38 at the Biggin Air Fair, probably about 1989 / 1990. I heard he professed himself less than impressed with the P-38's condition... Whether he flew it both days or not, I don't recall!

A more modest man it would be hard to find.
He flew 'Sally B' a lot while still a Captain with BA on the 747. I flew with him a few times. Once when he gave me a check ride in a T6 - a proper one - in which I got to know the aeroplane pretty well. I am not at all sure if he is still flying but I doubt that he has written anything about himself, even if he is retired, but I agree it would be most interesting. |
He displayed a German aircraft at Biggin Hill this summer.

There's a nice clip of Chris Bevan 'scrambling' Spencer Flacks Red MKXIV Spit at West Malling on an old Videotape i have somewhere, circa early 80's. I think that was probably the first time i had heard of him
