Born In Trinidad in 1945 and educated in Trinidad and England, Andy qualified as a commercial pilot in the UK, joined BWIA in 1966 and recently retired after 39 years. He enjoyed telling stories to both sons and their friends throughout their childhood. Inspired by their enthusiasm and no longer having an audience once they had grown up, he started writing. Andy first self-published “Stories from the Cockpit” in 2001. It contained three short stories, with artwork and photographs from various sources, including some illustrations of his own. Some time after, Macmillan Caribbean purchased the rights to all three stories and have recently published their first, “Grommit the Vulture”.
