Tim Callaway
Ten years as the curator of photograhs at the RAF Museum, where he helped to develop the first computer based archive system for a British national museum; seven years in the National Air Traffic Service and two years working for Brian Lecomber's superb aerobatic company as sponsorship manager has given Tim wide experience in the IT and aviation industries. He has written 32 books, 3 documentary scripts and assisted in many other print, TV and film productions. He has been a private pilot since 1985, which gives him a unique perspective when dealing with MFG's aviation clients.
His considerable knowledge of aviation history has made Tim a sought after display commentator for such venues as Lowestoft, Sandown, Southport, Southend, Al Ain and the ILA in Berlin.
As MFG's IT expert Tim designs and builds his own systems and is conversant with XML, HTML, C++, Visual Basic, Java and Perl. He is also trained in such software applications as Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Paint Shop Pro, Director, Flash, Microsoft Office, Premiere, After Effects and Illustrator. All of these are useful in producing websites, CDs and DVDs, something Tim has done for the RAF, Airbus Military, the Army Air Corps, the Blue Eagles and many others for the last eleven years.
Since 2001 Tim has become increasingly interested in servers and server solutions along with their intended software. Working alongside the great systems innovator Tony Taylor they have developed a bespoke server and content management system for secure websites.
Tim is divorced with two children and enjoys flying full size and model aircraft, kendo, fishing and golf.
