About

An experienced and motivated maritime and SAR helicopter pilot with superb aviation and instructional credentials. Over 25 years Aircraft Command and Multi-Crew experience in global ship-borne operations, maritime and mountain SAR. Broader skills in Aviation Procurement, Flight Safety and Aircrew Training. After 4 years operating an AW189 SAR variant in support of a challenging overseas SAR program in the Falkland Islands, I have now returned full time to the UK to provide Conversion to Type and Conversion to Role pilot training at the Royal Navy Merlin Training Facility near my home in Cornwall.
