About Ewen Menzies

Ewen Menzies is a UK based licensed aircraft engineer in the airline industry. Over the last 20 years, this has taken him to many exciting places, provided unique experiences and forged long lasting friendships. Coming from a military family, he has held an interest in military aviation and likes nothing more than to delve into the past endeavors of legendary aviators. He is now an instructor for a UK airline, teaching engineers and support staff about the technical aspects of various aircraft and how to maintain them to the high standards demanded by the aviation industry. It is not uncommon to find Ewen at an airshow staring wistfully skywards at whatever is thundering overhead!
