John Palliser was born and educated in York. He read Modern Languages at Worcester College, Oxford, in the early 1960s. He then taught languages for eleven years in England, France and Germany. In the mid-1970s he qualified as an accountant and for most of his career worked in sports management, travelling extensively in Europe. Through his professional activities he acquired experience in buying, registering and operating business jet aircraft. He has had a passion for all aspects of aeronautics since his teens. His entry into the world of business aviation at the end of his career finally gave him the job satisfaction which he was seeking. Without having ever become a professional pilot, he has nonetheless built a solid total of hours as a private pilot both in France and in the USA where he has obtained an FAA instrument rating. After having worked for many years in Monaco, he has now retired to Aigues-Mortes in the south of France. See less
