Personal profile:

I have been married to my wife Victoria for nearly 3 years and we are busy restoring our 340 year old home which we currently share with 2 dogs, a cat and 4 chickens.
I have a real fascination with flying and in particular human factors in air disaster. Perhaps ironic then that I am well on the way to obtaining my private pilot's license and hope to go on to complete more advanced training.
