About Me... updated April 8th 2002

Caz Caswell has had a lifelong interest in aviation. In 1955-58 he went to a school at Luqa airport in Malta where he would watch the RAF aircraft of the era landing and departing. 

In 1972 he joined Laker Airways.  By this time was building a large aviation photo slide collection with his new Pentax S1 SLR camera, and his privileged position at Laker's base, at London-Gatwick Airport - LGW. 

Just before the demise of Laker in 1977, Caz moved to Canada where he worked for historic airline, Wardair Canada. He then worked with Ontario Express for a short time, and then Air Toronto. 

Prior to returning home to England in January 2001, Caz worked for Field Aviation East in Toronto for 10 years, where he was heavily involved in procurement for converting, & updating of many de Havilland dash 8 aircraft. Notably the 5 dash 8-200's for National Jet, that were converted to 'Maritime Patrol Aircraft' (DHC-8MPA). 

Still in aviation, Caz now works in sales for Avtrade in the village of Poynings, in West Sussex, England. 

This web site was designed by Ms Sarah Ward, and many thanks must go to her for the encouragement she has given to me to start my own site. Most of the hard work was performed by Sarah, prior to me adding the additional galleries. Check out Sarah's website at www.airline-history.co.za for a lot of great photos, and airline histories.

April 2002; I have loaded 6 more galleries, most of these views are more of a nostalgic look back which I hope you will enjoy. My original plan was to have loaded 3 of these in March, but due to BT line fault, this was not possible. Your comments on these new galleries would be most welcomed, as indeed would those of earlier galleries. Caz

Galleries of choice photos from his extensive collection of unpublished aviation slides - dating from the late 1960's to today - will be added to this website in the coming months.
