My late father was an aircraft engineer and a keen amateur photographer. I continue his memory as a volunteer at an aviation museum, and in this collection of photos which includes scans of many of my late father's photographs since he began photography in 1936, as well as my own photos since I was given my first camera in 1964.

I took early retirement from the legal profession and now hold a bus driver Certificate of Professional Competence and I was a private pilot until 2009. I also enjoy the wider nostalgic scene of vintage transport, street furniture and clothing styles of an earlier era, and I collect old Hornby trains and dolls, diecast model vehicles etcetera.

Following a leg injury which forced me to wear a kilt to work for a few weeks while I was unable to get into trousers, I discovered that in the new millenium the kilt is an acceptable option for everyday menswear and not simply as costume for a wedding or Scottish dance. Now that women mostly wear trousers, men are slowly reclaiming their historic right to the option to wear unbifurcated lower garments.

Comments on my photos are welcome, feel free to tell me if you think my photos are rubbish, but please, no personal insults. Contacts are welcome if you have family friendly photos to share. Please note I am not into nudity or porn, if you have pornography or photos of people in the nude on your photostream I will not add you as a contact.

    "I first met Alex in Ayr in February 2008 while photographing a 1982 Leyland Titan bus. We had a good chat about buses that day and I still visit Alex's Flickr page on a weekly basis to see his fine work. He seems a cheery chap with real passion and dedication to photography and is a mind of information about most subjects. So a delayed Happy new year and all the best for 2009.

    My Scotland says:

    "Apologies Alex, I should have written this much sooner.

    Alex’s photography is as good as one can find. I am awestruck of his skills every time I see a photo on his stream. He is a great friend and I am honored that he finds my work worthy of comment and favour. I hope he keeps sharing his photography with us for a long time, and that his new camera matches his prowess as a photographer.
    Ian."

    SEC1941 tired of the snow says:

    "I often enjoy glancing at what is a very varied photostream. He is obviously interested in many aspects of Scotland. I share his enthusiam for Scottish tradition, although I only left the land of my birth at the age of 5. I share his delight in the kilt. There is something for most people in this photostream and I am glad that I have known Alex thtrough Flickr."
