Tricia, Dennis's wife, already had flying in the blood as she comes from an RAF family and has lived in Malaya and Cyprus as well as in various RAF stations around the UK.

She began by flying gliders at Booker and in 1990 she learnt to fly on Tiger Moths at Cambridge, on which aircraft she completed her private pilot's licence.  In 2002 Tricia gained her Display Authorisation.

Although Tricia never originally thought she would learn to fly herself she had been an active part of the ground crew for the Barnstormers Flying Circus for over a decade. She has now converted that into becoming an active flying member of Captain Nevilles Flying Circus and takes part in the majority of the routines, organising the boys en route!

In her spare time Tricia also carries out a 'day job' as a swimming coach and instructor.
