Mentored by the late Ernie Cromie BEM, former chairman of the Ulster Aviation Society, the curator began to research the USAAF history of Langford Lodge at the age of 17, during the autumn of 2001. He is the author of three books, two directly related to USAAF-LOC activities at Langford Lodge and has taken part in a variety of radio interviews and a documentary feature film. Recenlty, he has assisted the restoration team who restored the "Memphis Belle", in relation to modfication kits that were fabricated at USAAF Langford Lodge and later installed on the aircraft. In addition to the above activities, where possible, he has provided a number of talks to local historical societies and groups, organised a number of public open days at Langford Lodge and assisted veterans families in many capacities. Keeping true to a promise to the late Ernie Cromie BEM, who was an inspiration, mentor, and above all, a lifelong friend for 20 years, the curator is committed to carrying the torch, researching the USAAF Langford Lodge story.
