Adrian Bleese Author

Adrian Bleese was born and raised in the northwest of England before joining the Royal Air Force to fly on search and rescue and submarine hunting missions. On leaving the RAF, he began working for Suffolk Constabulary and spent twelve years flying on police helicopters, attending almost 3,000 police tasks even though he was neither a policeman nor a pilot. He was one of only a handful of civilian Air Observers working anywhere in the world, first for Suffolk Constabulary and then for the National Police Air Service as an Observer, Training Officer and Tactical Flight Officer. He has lived in East Anglia for more than twenty-five years.
