About Global Aviation Resource
Gareth Stringer - Deputy Editor / Writer With a Father
who served with XV Squadron on Victor B.1s and an Uncle who worked on
Meteors at Duxford, aviation was always going to play a prominent part
in Gareth's upbringing and he was bitten by the bug from an early age.
He attended his first air show more than 25 years ago and has stayed abreast
of aviation current affairs ever since, all the while fuelling a prodigous
appetite to read and collect books on the subject.Gareth joined the Air Training Corps at 14, the Chipmunk flights were unforgettable, but unfortunately never achieved his childhood dream with the RAF, although he did manage a week of "work experience" at Lakenheath with the 494th TFS and their F-111s! His love of writing played a big part in his career in the world of public relations and that is what he has been doing for the past 15 years, mainly involved with the football industry where he has worked with some of the beautiful game's biggest names and biggest events.
But the passion for aviation has remained and the last few years have
seen Gareth increasingly drawn back to attending airshows, writing about
aviation and building relevant contacts - all the while working hard to improve
the photography skills that he originally learned all those years ago!
Gareth's main contribution to GAR is written work on a broad range of subjects but he is proud that he
manages to take one or two photos worthy of inclusion along the way!
