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
"Steve was an exceptional presenter at our Britax Römer UK summer event at Silverstone. He's an enormously captivating and naturally gifted communicator who just got it from the get-go. From our very first chat, he knew the vibe I was going for and instantly understood how to blend Britax's rich British heritage with the equally iconic backdrop of Silverstone. What he delivered was smooth and thoughtful whilst also being authentically engaging, With a nod to nostalgia and vintage memorabilia, Steve built one of the smoothest bridges between the two brand:s Britax Römer and Silverstone. Capturing the audience's attention throughout, especially with his own personal story woven in, he brought a sense of personality and authenticity that made it all the more powerful. Honestly there's no better speaker who could've done it better!! He's one of the most natural and charismatic speakers you'll ever meet, the kind of person who lights up a room but still takes the time to listen. His depth of knowledge in car safety, combined with his automotive background brought real credibility and weight to his speech I honestly couldn't recommend Steve enough, he's just utterly brilliant, someone who delivers with warmth as well as purpose - an absolute pleasure to work with!"
