ABOUT ME

I have had a passion for commercial aviation ever since I was a child. I have over 350 model aircraft in both plastic and diecast. We have a designated "plane room" in our house but the model aircraft have made their home in every room of the house. I have a Sony 2001D HF receiver with a power antenna on the roof of our home. I also have 4 aircraft scanners: 2 base stations with antenna on the roof, and 2 handhelds. My camera is a Canon R6 mark II and I have a 50mm, 55mm, 250mm, a 400mm and a 500mm lens, I also have a 2X converter that I use from time to time. I am a self-taught photographer and learning new things every day. I live, eat and breathe commercial aviation but having a severe lung disease means I was unable to fore fill my dream of being a pilot or an air traffic controller.

I hope you enjoy the pictures and stories that I post.

Regards Brendan.
