Get to know the merry band of the committee

SIMON (THE MECHANIC) DUTTON

Trustee and Maintenance Team Lead

An enthusiastic renovator of old cars and aircraft, The Mechanic is never happier than when mixing concrete, for shoes apparently. Likes to do a job properly, no evidence left behind.

MARK (THE COLLECTOR) LAWSON

Treasurer & Membership Billing

Mark started flying at 15, and then decided he ought to think about getting a driving license as well. He trained as a radio telecommunications engineer and for his sins is now Director of Global Compliance and Sustainability at Poly (formerly Plantronics & Polycom). Also a keen radio amateur (G0FCJ), sci-fi buff and photographer, he really knows where his towel is. Link ...

NICK (RAZOR) RICHARDSON

Maintenance Team (Avionics)

Nick got his PPL in 1990. Happily converted a couple years ago, to a NPPL and the world of microlights. Recently retired from commercial aviation after 40 + years as a Certifying Engineer. Now the "avionics geek" on CK's maintenance team. Razor does have some interesting ideas of where to place probes and the use of current.

BOB (BLACK HAND) PEARCE

Lockwire Geek

Bob has been involved in aviation since leaving school. First as an aviation technician and technical instructor with the Royal Air Force and now as an aviation training specialist in ‘civvy’ street. Has a LAPL and NPPL (A) , (M). Is also the 'black hand' member of the maintenance team. Very good with wirelocking pliers apparently, never leaves marks.
