The Owner
Steve Billington qualified as a PPL in 1977 at Jandakot (WA)... "I returned to my hometown of Manchester & was accepted into the Royal Air Force in 1979 flying for 12 years on Hercules (24 Sqn) & Andovers (32 VIP Sqn). Jane & I bought our first aircraft in 1983 (Jodel D120), accumulating over 800 hours in 4 years flying around Europe. In 1991, I was fortunate to be accepted into Monarch Airlines. Nine years later we mortgaged everything to buy Ashcroft Airfield and lived in basic conditions with huge debts for several years. After 19 yrs with Monarch on the A320, Boeing 757 & 767, accumulating over 14,000 hrs, I took advantage of an early retirement package & I am now trying hard to give pilots good value for money at our Airfield.
