My name is Rick Ingham, I was born in Plymouth, Devon in February 1989.
I've been interested in aviation since the age of two (or so i'm told!) and have focussed on a career in the armed forces since. Whilst im still working towards joining the Royal Air Force I spend my spare time photographing military aircraft in action. I'm more keen on supplying the aircrew than selling my images though I still have several published images to my name, which can be found under 'credentials' on the left hand menu.

Despite being born and raised in Plymouth, I currently live in Chippenham, Wiltshire which in my opinion is the best place to be based for an aviation enthusiast. Salisbury Plain training area is a 20 minute drive and RAF Lyneham only 10 minutes. Being based 5 minutes from the motorway means I can get to various locations quickly and as a result i'm able to cover my locations.

Nowadays, i spend most of my spare time on the Salisbury Plain Training Area (SPTA). Here i photograph crews training on helicopters and then send them pictures that they can keep. I currently have photographs on various squadron's walls including the Swedish Air Force.
I use a Canon 400D with a Canon 18-55mm and 100-300 with the help of a Tamron 55-200. Occasionally I hire a lens to suit the purpose I need it for.
