Seb Davey (1995 Leaver) – Flies High In His Career!

I joined the Armed Forces in 1999 after my time at Merchant Taylors’ School Crosby. I enrolled in the Royal Air Force as a pilot following my degree course in Aerospace Systems Engineering at the University of Southampton.

During my career, I have flown 3500 hours so far and completed numerous tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan along with other operations worldwide. I am still serving with the RAF as a Flight Lieutenant pilot where my primary duty is as an instructor of Low Level Flying on the Hercules C-130J at RAF Brize Norton, although I will be qualifying on the brand new Airbus A400M Atlas aircraft in September 14.

I also fly for the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire displaying the Dakota DC-3 and (one of only 2 remaining airworthy worldwide) Lancaster Bomber at airshows in the UK and Europe
