Published Work

You can find details and links to my published work on this page.

Much of my work has been featured in the BMAA magazine, Microlight Flying.  You can download PDF copies of those features and articles here.  If you are not a member of the BMAA (who promote and administer all things microlight related in the UK) then you can join at bmaa.org and get their fantastic monthly magazine included in your annual subscription.

I’ve also had pieces published in Physics World, Mathematics Today, New Scientist and Birmingham World.
