CEO and Chief Designer
(Retired Airline captain, registered Architect.)
Origin UK, Syd started flying in 1959 via the Royal Air Force Cadet Program, the “Air Training Corps”. Following his architectural studies he saw an opportunity in the “Freeport” growth zone in the Bahamas. When invited to the United States by a client, he began the examination process through the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. He became licensed in the state of Georgia and eventually North Carolina. Syd has always maintained a small international practice in parallel to his Aviation career. He has done contract flying for several small foreign and US carriers. In 1986 he was hired with the then “Piedmont Airlines” where he was involved with the initial North Atlantic operation. He retired from US Airways as a captain flying the Caribbean Theatre. Following a sailing sabbatical of some eight years Syd has now devoted himself full time to the SC-1 project.
