Craig's timeline

Officer training at Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth.
1987 - completion of flying training
Front line service, flying the Seaking helicopter operating from numerous ships including RN aircraft carriers and Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessels.

Seriously rewarding and challenging flying. The whole team was needed for every successful ‘shout’.

Initially as an Instructor (QFI) teaching new pilots the rudiments of flying. Next comes the chance to fly my all time favourite aircraft, the Hawk. It’s fast, agile with killer good looks.

Welcome to my second favourite aircraft, the Airbus 320. A delight to operate, with fly by wire technology it is designed to ensure maximum safety for the crew and passenger

Undiagnosed dyslexia meant school was a disaster for me, told by my headmaster that my future was in serious jeopardy. Now I get to work with schools, training and other organisations to ensure everyone gets a chance to show their own individual greatness.
