Hey, everyone, Vincent Ayello here, founder and host of the Fighter Pilot podcast.

If you are into aviation photography, specifically military aviation photography, well, then

I have a treat for you joining us today, all the way from the United Kingdom is world

renowned and award-winning aviation photographer, Mr. Rich Cooper.

Hi, Don Rich.

Hi, Vincent.

Yeah, really well.

Thanks.

Great to be here.

I should also say that you've been helping BVR productions for gosh, over a year, you

help us with photography and imagery and all that.

But tell us how it all started.

When did you first become interested in photography?

Well, it takes up a camera for the first time, age seven.

So my dad's a photographer and journalist and stuff.

So, you know, from a really early age, he was giving me his camera to play with and we're

just going to air shows and stuff.

You know, the world was such a different place back then.

I mean, obviously, you know, I'm quite old now, so it was a very different place.

There was just wasn't the security concerns or anything else.

So you just used to go up to airfields and air bases and stuff and say, can we come in

and take some pictures?
