Magazine Editor - Dave Homewood
Dave grew up in an aviation-enthusiast family, and joined the Royal New Zealand Air Force aged 18, as a Safety and Surface Worker.
While studying media at university, he launched his Wings Over Cambridge website in 2004 which records the history of Cambridge people who served in the Royal New Zealand Air Force and Allied Air Forces during WWII. This expanded and in 2005 Dave launched the Wings Over New Zealand Forum, which is now New Zealand's largest aviation website.
In 2011 he began producing the Wings Over New Zealand Show podcast, which has recorded hundreds of interviews with people in New Zealand aviation and is listened to all over the globe. Dave has also been a freelance journalist, and spends a lot of time researching and helping other journalists and authors to complete their aviation stories. He has done in-depth research into many aviation topics over the years.
In 2018 Dave was invited to take over Sport Flying as the editor when former editor John King retired from the role.
