Dave Houghton
Flying Instructor
Dave started flying in 1985 and holds a CPL ME IR. He has been flying from Gloucester Airport for over 20 years. With a background in engineering Dave has been involved in several homebuilt and restoration projects.
Having worked full time in Aviation for the last 13 years he has had the opportunity to fly, and work on, many different types of aircraft. When he isn’t flying, or instructing, Dave spends time building his (75% scale) World War II replica P51 Mustang which he hopes to have flying by 2015 .
Richard Thwaites
Flying Instructor
Richard has been involved with aircraft equipment engineering and manufacturing for more than 35 years and learned to fly with Staverton Flying School, gaining his PPL in 1997. After several years of private flying he studied for a JAR CPL in 2005 and gained his Instructor Rating the following year. Richard owns and operates a 1944 vintage Boeing ‘Stearman’ biplane, for which he holds a Display Authorisation from the CAA, and a SOCATA TB21 touring aircraft; both of which are kept on the Gloucestershire airfield. So it’s fair to say flying is much more than a job to Richard.
