"Welcome to my website of which I am very proud and deeply indebted to a good friend for it's creation. Lest you misinterpret my motives for embarking upon this venture, let me assure you that it is NOT intended as a marketing ploy. I merely wish to share my creations with like minded enthusiasts of the photographic kaleidoscope."

"Getting up close and friendly with a Merlin Engine, which has been the focus of much of my photography."

"Somewhat prophetically, the first picture I ever had published was of the Manston Spitfire in an Airfix magazine in 1957; this was taken with the first camera I ever owned, a Kodak Brownie 44B which when compared to my current Cannon EOS shows just how photography has come on in the intervening years.

Since then, by guile and cunning I have managed to get myself into places I should not have been. In recent years with the onset of the moribund doctrine of Health and Safety, I have been fortunate to have good friends that have arranged priveleged access and unique experiences.

Nearly all the images are 'as taken' and have not been cropped or subjected to any 'post production editing' Did I mention that I once flew in a Lancaster bomber!!"
