I spent forty years of my life in the Vehicle Recovery Industry and before I got into Management, the first twenty years were spent at the 'sharp end'. I did occasionally have a moment to grab the video camera and so I can now share those moments with you.
CLICK ON A PLAYLIST to see the videos divided into categories of interest.
The subjects range from Aircraft to Trucks and Glamour to Recovery. Locations range from Brooklands to Utah and Arizona to Weybridge.
There is some humour, like the video we did for Julian's wedding. A lot of items, are of some historical interest and most are very unique.
A few modern recovery operators may look at the way we did things 'back then' and think "what about health and safety?" the answer is simple, there was none and it looks so scary now!

About Me:
Having worked most of my life in and around vehicle recovery. I am largely respected by my peers in the industry and I am without doubt the only one of them, to have recovered a Concorde (along with most of the Aircraft at Brooklands).
I have been playing with video (only ever as an amateur) since the days of Sony 8, through VHS, then SVHS and now HDI. Clearly I enjoy Videoing (but I am not especially good at it).
I am a fairly good photographer however (Glamour and Landscape a speciality), so maybe I will get better with Video now I have the time!
Interests are 'Mechanical' things especially stuff from the last century. I have done a far bit with my life and you will get to see some of it here.

Hobbies:
the usual Long Legged Females and Bacon Sandwiches, I enjoy being with RISC UK, and Brooklands Museum, plus undertaking aircraft / vehicle recovery and travelling around the world. Also I enjoy Still Photography. See more at
