Team owner and race pilot Paul enjoys all types of flying, comes from an aviation family and describes himself as “not too bad” at Air Racing. As the current World Champion (2009) he has achieved an unsurpassed record of 30 podium finishes out of 44 races that includes 11 race wins. He caught the bug from his father, Colin, a British Army pilot who went on to a successful airline career. His mother also flew as a stewardess with BEA in the late fifties….. and his brother is a Captain flying the Airbus A320.
Paul’s passion for aerobatics started when he worked at White Waltham airfield near London
where he helped Richard Goode |

prepare and maintain his Pitts Special aircraft. Paul went on to fly aerobatics displays for Richard in the Pitts, Yak 50, Extra 300 and Sukhoi 26. He continues to display Russian aircraft alongside former Air Race pilot Steve Jones as the Matadors. In the meantime, the “day job” also took Paul into the airline world, starting with Air Cymru at Cardiff flying 737’s and he now flies 747’s for British Airways. At weekends he can occasionally be found flying vintage aircraft such as the Mustang and Spitfire for the Old Flying Machine Company at Duxford. Paul lives in Cambridgeshire, England with his better-half Laura, his stepson Charlie and daughter Olivia.
