t a time. James has ADHD, which gives him a unique gift – an uncanny ability to identify aircraft and vehicles with lightning speed. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and energy are what fuel this journey. Leading the creative charge is Louise – professional photographer and founder of Hibbard Photography. Louise uses her photography skills to capture dynamic, wow-factor images of planes (and everything in between), while teaching James the ropes of photography and content creation along the way. Joining the squad is:
👶 Leo, age 3 – our cheeky little co-pilot in training
🚗 Michael, aka Dad – the dependable driver, snack-bringer, and voice of reason
Together, we make up a plane-loving, photo-snapping, memory-making team.
📍WHERE YOU’LL FIND US
RAF bases
Civilian airports
Airshows and open days
Museums and hangars
Car shows (because James is just as obsessed with supercars!)
Every trip is an adventure. And every moment is a chance to share James’s passion with the world.
