THINGS are looking up for a Kidderminster man who is a photographer for the RAF.

Scott Lewis, 20, from Offmore, regularly takes pictures for the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, in his role as a ground photographer, at RAF Coningsby, in Lincolnshire.

He has also been a volunteer with Severn Valley Railway for 11 years, starting at the age of nine, working as a diesel loco crew member and one of the Thomas the Tank Engine co-ordinators.

In his RAF job, he has photographed the classical piston-powered aircraft, Spitfire, Hurricane, Chipmunk, Lancaster and Dakota, which, collectively, are the latest in regular military use in the air force, for commemorative events.
