About me edit

 
The flight deck of the Airbus A320 family aircraft.

I am an Airline Pilot (First Officer) flying the Airbus A320, Airbus A321 and Airbus A330 aircraft for a major UK airline. My interests are predominantly in Aviation and the Airline Industry, along with a passion for overseas travel. I am lucky to regularly fly to a variety of destinations as part of my job, predominantly across Europe, the Canary Islands, North Africa, North America and the Caribbean.

I have also recently discovered a new-found passion for cycling and spend much of my spare time (when not editing Wikipedia) exploring the beautiful countryside of South East England by bike, particularly along the North and South Downs. It is my intention to complete the London to Brighton Bike Ride in a semi-decent time in June 2010!

I live in Crawley, West Sussex in the United Kingdom, near London Gatwick Airport which is my usual base.

Wikipedia and me edit

I joined Wikipedia in October 2007 and have made over 9,000 contributions since then. Most of my edits and contributions relate to airport and airline articles, with a view to both accuracy and enhancement of information. I also occasionally contribute to other articles regarding aircraft, aviation accidents and other topics.
