Justin McLoughlin - Manager

Justin is our Manager. He takes care of everything, but most importantly he keeps Trevor on his toes.

Justin used to help Trevor run his Karate schools, so his management skills aren't to be argued with.

Previously, he ran a hospital department for ten years, but got fed up with the appalling way the NHS is run and
decided to join us instead.

Lee Bligh – Instructor

Lee has been flying since 1987. He is an ex glider pilot who changed to flying paragliders for
the ease of Cross Country flying.

Ex RAF (20 years +), he was the RAF and Services’ Paragliding Champion and their team captain.

Lee is a full-time Instructor with ParAvion. He also helps Trevor with kit inspections and parachute re-packs
on days when we can't fly.

Lee also has a PPL and flies light aircraft.

Dave Cox - Senior Instructor

Dave started out by flying motorgliders and gliders back in '86. We always call on him when we need
something lifting or moving as he was a powerlifting champion years ago and has been known to pick
up the odd aeroplane and hold it above his head.

As well as teaching with us here at ParAvion, Dave is a Microlight Instructor and shares his teaching
time with a local microlight school when it's too windy to teach paragliding. Dave (obviously) has
a PPL and is also a hang glider pilot.

Ex RAF (20 years +), Dave is enjoying the more relaxed world of Civvy life. He is an ex-ParAvion student.

Jim Cochrane - Senior Instructor

Jim has been around paragliding since the beginning. An ex-parachutist, he was the CFI of what used to
be known as Capital Paragliding based at North Weald airfield in Essex. It was Jim that got Trevor into
flying paragliders back in '93.

Jim shares his time between London, France and with us here in Wiltshire. He tries to spend most of his
time at his house in the Pyrenees (the weather is much better), but he loves to teach as much as he can.

Sheena Findlay - Trainee Instructor

Sheena works full-time flying around the planet for British Airways, but she tries to put in as much time
as she can with us here at the school.

Sheena has been flying paragliders since 1998 and would love to spend much more time teaching with
us, but Trevor can't compete with her BA salary.

Phillip Gregory - Trainee Instructor

Phillip used to run his own computer software company.

He started flying microlights back in '88, and paragliders in 2000.

Phillip also has a PPL and flies light aircraft.

Phillip is an ex-ParAvion student too.

Simon Payne - Trainee Instructor

Simon runs his own very successful company, but as his employees can often work without him, he
likes to come and work with us as much as possible.

Simon also has a PPL and flies light aircraft.

He is also an ex-ParAvion student.
