AVIATOR
In 1979, as a flying-mad teenager, I spent a weekend at Biggin Hill, going through aircrew selection to fly Sea Harriers for the Fleet Air Arm.
I felt like an Ace amongst Aces passing my Pilot's Co-ordination and Pilot's Maths, along with Navigator's Coordination - but failed Navigator's Maths by 3%. I was advised to re-apply a year later - but decided to go motor racing instead.
My love of aviation never went away - in-fact it grew stronger over the years.
Today I have ratings for four different helicopter 'types' - and three 'fixed wing'. I also hold a helicopter 'Night Rating', and am on course to qualify for my professional drone pilot's licence, so able to undertake commercial filming projects from January onwards.
I have hundreds of flying hours logged in all kinds of aircraft, all over the World. In Los Angeles I flew a Bell Jet Ranger for the traffic reporter for KISS FM; from Majorca I delivered an R44 helicopter to the UK, crossing the Pyrenees in the process. I've completed two Robinson factory safety courses, a mountain flying training - in short, 'I fly, and I know things'.
testimonial
"For those who don't know Steve Deeks... I met Steve almost ten years ago when he supported a major, multi model car launch to an incredibly demanding audience and stakeholders. Steve's meticulous attention to detail, expertise and curiosity about the specification and qualities of the cars were like nothing else I had seen before. I've met lots of professional drivers, but no one asks questions like Steve to understand what kind of experience is on offer. Why? So he can convey the right things to say to his audience and ensure they always do the right things thereafter. Steve's passion for motion, engineering and the drive itself is why I trust him implicitly. The sentiment behind Steve's post is that he cares about his audience. His passion is to give them the skills and disciplines to improve their craft. Hire him! Book him! Consult him!"
