Phil Cooke

Been flying R/C models since my mid teens, so over 30 yrs experience across I/C sport/scale and all types of gliders.  PSS is my main interest and I'm an active member of the Power Scale Soaring Association.  I've now sold on all my oily engines and although I still fly a bit of electric flat field stuff my main interests are in flying from the coastal slope sites.  I enjoy a little design and still love building with traditional materials from plans.

In my day job I work for Rolls-Royce in Derby, in Civil Large Engine assembly, fast approaching 25 years at Rolls.  I'm married to Emma with 2 children, Harry and Phoebe.  I enjoy a bit of football, golf, cricket and snooker in my down time - keen airshow goer and photographer.
