Rod's love for WWII aircraft was sparked during his time serving in the Royal Air Force. Living in Oxford, he was in proximity to RAF Brize Norton, and after relocating to Cambridge, he found himself close to RAF Fairford. His passion for aviation led him to become a regular visitor to both bases, attending countless airshows to marvel at the planes. Over time, he formed relationships with some of the base personnel and was even fortunate enough to meet a few WWII pilots. It's clear that his fascination with these incredible machines has only grown stronger with time.
