David has had an interest in aviation since his school days sitting in class watching the F-111's and A-10's going down the coast of Lincolnshire to RAF Donna Nook bombing range.
This led to joining the Air Training Corps reaching the rank of Flt Sgt. The ATC confirmed the desire to have a career in the British Royal Air Force (RAF), he served for 12 years at a wide number of locations at home and abroad as an Engineering Technician.
The Lightning Files have continued to be updated as and when time allowed. There are now over 500 images contained there the majority kindly donated by visitors to this site.
2002 saw a revolution in his photography with the purchase of a Canon EOS D60 digital SLR, this gave rise to the original Macks Aviation website. Current equipment is listed below.
I also have included a few aviation videos and would like to offer to host other peoples videos if they have them. I currently have a Monthly limit of 100000.00 GB bandwidth that could do with some using. Please contact me for further info. aviation@macksaviation.com
