Bob Poole

Bob's aviation career spans almost fifty years starting in the UK in 1964 with an Aeronautical Engineering Apprenticeship at Hawker Siddeley Aviation. In 1976 Bob moved to Canada with his family to pursue his career in Aviation and has since worked in many capacities for DeHavilland, Orenda Aerospace, CP Air, Worldways Canada and Soundair Corporation.

In 1994 bob started his own Company, Aerostructural Inc., a Transport Canada approved Aircraft Stuctural Repair Facility, still operating today. Bob's art is self-taught and purely a hobby, with many paintings over the years going to friends and relatives.

Bob adds "Having my pictures displayed alongside such talented artists is a great honour"
