Joe Coles maintains an obsession with aeroplanes utterly inappropriate for an adult. He has been writing about aviation for over twenty years; in this time he has been the editor of a best-selling aviation periodical published around the world, and created Hush-Kit, a widely respected and deeply irreverent blog. He's also done lots of impressive things unrelated to aviation: as a teenager Joe was coached by the poet Ivor Cutler. The Fall's Mark E.

He is also a veteran copywriter and creative concept developer for a leading gin company, a comedy performer and slightly overweight. He is yet to have a dog but wants one very much. See less
