A former Murder & Robbery detective in the South African Police, Allan has been involved in aviation for some 35 years, of which most of it was in Rotary aircraft during special operations.
Allan gained his PPL at RAF Halton in 2010 and has had the privilege to own and fly some entry level WW2 warbirds. His business is in Historic and Classic aircraft brokering. For the past six years his company has been involved in smaller restoration projects and project managing several other bigger projects in various parts of the world. Some of his current projects are the return to flight of 2 x P51D Mustangs and an ex RAF Douglas C-47 Dakota III, which flew on D-Day.
He currently has the enviable choice to fly a Stinson Sentinel L-5, Piper L4 Cub, Tiger Moth and a Vans RV7. Allan says that he is blessed that his hobby is now his business and he gets to travel the world meeting owners, pilots and restorers of these wonderful machines.
Allan is married to a very supportive wife and has three children.
