ALAN MARLOW:

YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Born in 1958

Two Brothers, Rob & Steve and Sister Linda

Married in 1980 to my lovely wife Sue. I actually taught Sue to drive when we first met in 1978. I also have two children; Richard (1984) and Chris (1987) - and yes they both passed their driving test first time. I must also mention my best mate Micky - he's my cat!

CAREER:

Saturday retail work

Left School in 1974

Employed by a motor accessory retailer where I stayed for 22 years from tea maker, to manager, to director to shareholder

Joined my wife in her business venture in Marlows Residential Lettings and after many years we were given the opportunity to sell up, an offer quite frankly we could not refuse!

Joined the wonderful world of Driving Instructor training in 2003, the rest is history! Achieved a Grade Five Instructor grading from a senior examiner at The Driving Standards Agency in January 2007. Only 33% of Driving Instructors achieve a grade five grading

HOBBIES :

Well I love driving, absolutely love my job as a Driving Instructor, best job I have ever had or likely to have

Love to mess around with old radios and electronic gadgets to get them working again. I am currently building an AM radio set from a bag of electronic components, a bit of a challenge, but at least it does keep me out of trouble at night!

Flying is my real passion and as I have my Private Pilots Licence (PPL) I have often hired aircraft from Sywell Aerodrome and flown myself around the UK. I have flown solo in a Robin HR200, Cessna 152, Cessna 152 Aerobat, Piper Warrior, Piper Arrow

I have also taken the controls of a Robinson R22 helicopter and a glider and also a Boeing 757..OK the 757 was a flight simulator that commercial pilots use for training at Luton Airport. The simulator costs £20 million ...er ..um.. and I 'crashed' on landing! I have also been a passenger in a hot air balloon

I love all kinds of music and in particular The West End Theatre. Favourites include The Phantom Of The Opera, Les Miserables (seen it three times!), Billy Elliot, Blood Brothers, The Sound Of Music, Monty Pythons Spam-A-Lot, The Lion King, Joseph, Oliver and Love Never Dies, the follow up to Phantom. Sue & I enjoy seeing our beautiful country from the cab of our motorhome .. but still love the heat of Spain also!
