Ian Sheppard acts as Communications Adviser to GAAC including maintaining the website and issuing GAAC Alerts, and associated Social Media. Ian is based at Redhill Aerodrome. A graduate in Aeronautical Engineering, he has been an aviation journalist and editor for many publications, including editing AOPA UK’s magazine, and editing international show dailies for AIN. He has legal qualifications (Graduate Diploma in Law and Legal Practice Course) and maintains a strong interest in law and regulation. Ian has a CPL with a FI Rating. One of Ian’s main frustrations is not being able to report most of the work that the GAAC carries out to assist airfield owners, due to the confidential nature of the work, and the fact that many cases go on for months if not years! 

Please remember this when considering donating to the GAAC, which has very limited funds!
