New Team Member
Advanced Flying (London) Ltd is delighted to welcome Nick Barnard (pictured right) to its team. Nick will be displaying our distinctive Pitts Special S-2C, 'Scarlett O'Hara" this coming season.
Nick comes from a total aviation family - his father and all four uncles were test pilots or aerospace engineers! Learning to fly gliders when at school, Nick also flew with his University Air Squadron. After giving up aviation for nearly 15 years, a happy mid-life crisis provided the impetus to take to the air again. In 1999 Nick co-founded the Yaklovlevs display team, and has performed at over 500 air shows. Nick is fortunate to have been guided by some of the best Russian as well as British champion competition and display pilots. Nick's favourite aerobatic coach is Xavier de Lapparent - arguably the world's greatest aerobatic pilot - and of course a former world champion at a very young age. Nick has over 1,500 hours flying experience, mostly performing aerobatics or keeping in close formation, and is one of very few pilots in the UK authorised to display any sort of aerobatics at low level. Aside from writing the book 'How to fly a plane' www.howtoflyaplane.co.uk Nick is also the founder and managing director of Rude Health - a small but loud UK breakfast cereal company...www.rudehealth.com
