Aviation Photography

I have been taking photos of aircraft since I was about 5 years old, when my father would take me to Leuchars in Scotland. Later in life I lived 15 minutes from Duxford IWM and took full advantage attending 3 or 4 airshows every year in the 5 years I lived in Cambridge. In more recent times, living in Chicago I have enjoyed the Chicago Air & Water Show.

Below you will see a range of images including some that may be one of the last times the Avro Vulcan will ever fly…
