Hi all, my name is John and was born and bred in Glasgow, I'm now living in Cumbernauld.
My interest in aviation started off with making airfix models and living under the flight path in to Glasgow Airport, Phantoms and Jaguars were a fairly frequent sight in the late 70's early 80's but in more recent years RAF fast jets are few and far between.
I am also heavily involved in wildlife conservation and photography and have a wildlife web site at
Clydebirds. if any of you are interested.
I should really get a military aircraft web site up and running, maybe sometime in the near future I will get round to it (I will have to sort out my photos first, I changed to digital a couple of years ago and am now playing catch up with keeping track of my images, all 17,000 of them).
I also love riding motorbikes and like customs, street fighters and choppers (hence my nickname, chops), I have an old Kawasaki Z1100 which I am in the process of customizing at the moment and will hopefully have it back on the road for spring 2007.
