Edward Clack has long been involved in his twin loves of flying and photography since he took his first ‘snapshots’ with a Box Brownie in 1935. He joined the RAF in 1942 and, after a distinguished military career, continued his flying as Chief Flying Instructor at Southend Airport for many years.
Edward has continued to photograph the changing landscape, particularly over London, the River Thames, the South Eastern part of England and many other places both at home and abroad, wherever his flying activities took him. His large collection includes classic photographs of the Channel Tunnel
construction, London's Docklands famous buildings and parks, many cities, towns and villages and archaeological sites, especially ‘crop marks,’ a subject in which he is expert.
Edward’s flying career finally ended in 1992 with an eye condition which precluded him from passing the medical required for a pilot’s licence.
