Author Information

Child-of-the-Fifties, Liverpudlian Ken Ellis has written on aviation topics since 1972, when his first article appeared in (the original) Aviation News. He has scribbled for Key Publishing's FlyPast since its prototype days in 1981 and edited the journal in two sessions, totalling 24 years. Among many other roles for Key, he launched AirForces Monthly in 1988, was editor of Air Enthusiast 1990-2003, and produced more 'one-off' special publications than he cares to remember! Outside of FlyPast, Ken is best known for Wrecks & Relics, the biennial 'bible' of the UK preservation movement. Written by Ken since 1974, Wrecks & Relics is now in its 28th edition. Between 2011 and 2017 Ken wrote a well-acclaimed trilogy devoted to Britain's aviation museums: Lost Aviation Collections, Great Aviation Collections and Local Aviation Collections. His two-volume Testing to the Limits, devoted the British aircraft industry's test pilots, appeared in 2015 and 2016. All of these titles are published by Crécy. Ken is author or co-author of a dozen other titles. Ken got his private pilot's licence in 1991, driving a variety of 'puddle-jumpers' and, very occasionally, bigger metal. Airshow commentary is something he's enjoyed since the early 1980s; his favourite event is the award-winning Old Buckenham Airshow. An avid gardener, Ken is killing less plants year-on-year. He lives in the People's Republic of Rutland with former wing-walker Pam and a cat called Rascal.
