About Neill

Neill Watson is a professional photographer and writer. His childhood love of cars, driving, aviation and flying has never abated. This was added to in his college years by his draughtsman teacher who instilled an interest in architecture and building design. If you love the sound of the Cosworth V8 as much as the V12 Merlin, the smell of Jet A1 as much as Castrol R and admire the late Ray Hanna as much as Sir Stirling, you’ll find you’re both on the same page
