He has carried out a great many long distance tours of the UK and Europe and has encourage others to do the same by writing about his exploits in Microlight Flying magazine under his nom de plume ‘The Journeyman Balladeer’. He has led tours of less experience pilots around France and has organised and led fly-outs in the UK to encourage less experience pilots to ‘stretch their wings’.

He is an excellent ambassador for UK sport aviation in general and microlighting in particular.
