The sky is the limit for Ian's picture quest
Ian Sykes’ photographic forte is taking pictures of aircraft at high altitudes.
Mr Sykes, of Ossett Camera Club, said: “I always had an interest in aviation and wanted to join the RAF from being knee high but cycling and the Calder Clarion team got in the way. So I never made the RAF and settled for ground-based activities.”

The cameraman from Dewsbury added: “I had always wanted to get the extra special shot that is different from the run of the mill airshow. That led to climbing mountains and getting airborne with the help of the Centre of Aviation Photography.”
Some of his aviation photography has been published in aviation books and in Aero magazine in Bulgaria.
He added: “I am in the process of collating work, not just aviation, with a view to setting up a website.”
