I did not realise at that time that Andrei in fact lives in South Australia and went to university\u00a0in the Ukraine \u2013 home of the Foxbat. He was born in Siberia and moved to Australia in 1998 with a depth of engineering qualifications and currently works for an \u2018Australian icon\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Although it was the Foxbat pictures which first attracted my attention, Andrei has in fact almost 4,000\u00a0photos (yes, that&#8217;s 4,000!!) on <a title=\"Airliners photo website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.airliners.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">airliners.net<\/a> many\u00a0of which were taken in Australia. He describes his photography as a \u2018hobby\u2019 but he is being extremely modest \u2013 if you have ever tried to enter a photo on airliners.net (I have) you\u2019ll know just how exacting their standards are! So to have so many photos accepted is quite a feat. Those of you with eagle-eyes will have noticed in the photo above (courtesy of Sport Pilot\u00a0magazine) that Andrei is not flying a Foxbat but another type of aircraft. Now I don\u2019t hold that against him as he has been very generous with permissions to use his pictures on our website, and who knows, maybe one day he\u2019ll see the light! Meanwhile thank you Andrei for your great photos \u2013 of whatever aircraft \u2013 and long may your hobby flourish.
