A Yorkshireman living in Suffolk - two of Britain's greatest counties. Biased, me? I was born with aviation in my veins, I believe. After a somewhat distracting career in retail and then the City, I have returned to my true love - flying. I have written several articles for other aviation magazines over the years, and edited the magazine Air Pilot for a while. Unsurprisingly my books have a high aviation content. I am also drawn to strong characters, and the subject of my latest book, Passion for Speed, certainly ticks both those boxes. Aside from writing, I am a very active investor, love military history, the countryside, good food and wine, skiing, sailing, cycling and walking. Any opportunity to mix that lot is a bonus. My website Sky & Bullets contains reviews of many aviation and military titles. My next book will be published by Osprey in Spring 2026 - watch this space! I am very happy to give talks about the Hon. Mrs. Victor Bruce, the subject of A Passion For Speed.
