PDA Photography

Northampton photographer Paul Armstrong originally from Greenford, Middlesex. Apprenticed in 1970 with BEA (British Airways) at Heathrow Airport becoming a qualified airframe and engine fitter on Vickers Viscount, Vanguard, BAC 111, Tridents and later at Luton airport overhauling Boeing 707 and Britania aircraft. Over the years various engineering roles have been undertaken across the UK to feed the mortgage and fund a growing desire to spend more time learning and practising the art of photography. Resident in Northampton since 1995. Photography as a hobby started at about 10 years of age with the birthday gift of a Brownie 127 camera which accompanied me on school trips, scout camps and family days out and holidays. Various other cameras followed plus the loan of my fathers Agfa Isolette 120 roll film camera, until spare cash was available to buy my first SLR, a Praktica LTL3 (and still have it).
