Bomber County Aviation Resource started life in late 2009, when the first designs where made. Founder Craig Wise first came up with the concept in 2007, but put the project on hold due to other commitments. Then in mid 2009 he decided to resurrect the project. First Graham Platt was asked to help with the design and development, then Steve Cambers soon followed to help with the forward planning and content. Between the three of them idea's were coming thick and fast and Bomber County was born.

I spent my early years in Lincolnshire, with RAF Manby just a 'stones throw' away from my parents home. Naturally as the home of the RAF, Lincolnshire had plenty to offer the aviation enthusiast in the mid 70s and I spent much time visiting airfields such as Binbrook, Coningsby and Waddington.
Unsurprisingly aviation became a career for me when he left school, joining the RAF in 1988, serving for seven years. I then joined the civilian world, but continued to serve for another five years on a part time basis. In 2007 I joined the staff at On Target Aviation, where I spent two years as Webmaster. Then in 2009 I decided it was time to venture out on my own, and Bomber County was born.
As a keen photographer, i've had images published in both Air Forces Monthly and Aviation News. I currently use the Canon EOS-400D & 40D camera teamed up with the 17-85mm and 100-400mm Canon L-Series lenses.

Design / Development & Research
Born & raised in Lincolnshire, I've been interested in aircraft since a very early age. I spent a lot of my childhood watching aircraft either flying over the house or at the local stations - RAF Coningsby was my 'local' but I also cycled across to Waddington, Scampton, Cranwell & Binbrook during the school summer holidays.
My interests are now in airfield history/archaeology and aviation photography.
