Who is your inspiration?

Ian Pullin (Retired British Airways Pilot) gives expert video advice on: Have you ever crashed a plane?; What's the proudest moment of your career?; What was your favourite plane to fly? and more...

As a pilot, I don't particularly have any inspiration. When I was young, my father was in the Air Force and I lived in an Air Force camp called Scampton. It was in the early 60's when they were reequipping with vulcans. I used to lie on the grass and watch these things doing almost aerobatics. That was probably the catalyst, but I never dreamed that I could be an airline pilot. At that stage I was only 15 or 16.
