Tim is an air-test pilot, a Display Pilot, a Flight Instructor and a Senior Examiner (of Pilots, Flight Instructors and of Examiners) for the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
He jointly holds the Concorde World Record time for the journey from New York to London: 2hours 52minutes (7th February 1996).

In his 38 year career with British Airways Tim flew the Hawker-Siddeley Trident, the Concorde and the Boeing 777 as well as spending nine years as personal pilot to the BA Chairman and Board in an executive aircraft.
