I'm Alex Cunningham from Hawick in the Scottish Borders. My nearest airports are Carlisle (45 miles) or Newcastle (53 miles), both of which I visit quite often. My late father served in the RAF from 1940 to 1946 after which he became a civilian aircraft engineer (engines) working for BEA, Scottish Aviation and eventually Rolls Royce Aero Engines division at Hillington, Glasgow where he got me involved with aircraft as an ATC cadet and also washing and valetting planes for Loganair at Glasgow Airport at weekends to earn my student pocket money. My role model became the late Captain Duncan MacIntosh of Loganair and I took his advice by following in his educational path of taking a law degree first and then pilot training later, due to lack of job security in flying as a career. That led me to a job as a schools lawyer in the west of Scotland which gave me plenty of opportunity for a few years to fly as a passenger in Loganair's Islanders, Trislanders and later Twin Otters. My local government career ended up as a town hall manager here in Hawick, from which I took early retirement. I am a PPL/IMC currently checked out to fly Pa28's at Newcastle Aero Club and at Border Air Training Carlisle, and am also a volunteer at Solway Aviation Museum. I would regard myself as a plane enthusiast rather than a spotter.

Hi Alex, and also welcome to the forum. We are all nuts about aircraft, and the forum is a good way to express views, share photos and other odds and bobs on the forum.
