PAST EXPERIENCE

Leaving the farm (which was somewhere I loved dearly) I pursued my interest in engineering taking a position at the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton, as a junior restoration engineer. Completing an ‘old school' five year City & Guilds Mechanical Engineering and Fitting & Turning apprenticeship, in time I had the opportunity to become the Museum's Chief Engineer. Following that I achieved a professional Museums Association curatorial qualification (Conservation Route AMA) and am now the Senior Curator of Aircraft for the National Museum of the Royal Navy.
