Ever since I was a child I’ve been fascinated with all things aviation. From watching the ’80s action series Airwolf on the telly and building hundreds of model kits to plane spotting. I’ve even had helicopter flight lessons! I started to photograph air shows around Ireland in 2011 and joined my local camera club in 2014. I took a big interest in wildlife and macro photography, but always returned to aviation. Eager to learn more, I wanted to visit some of the bigger air shows around the UK and Europe.
