Chris Turner enjoyed drawing, painting and model making from an early age, making many flying models whilst still at school. In 1959 he completed an engineering apprenticeship at the National Gas Turbine Establishment, and went on to work as a draughtsman in private industry and a chief engineer for the design and development of special purpose machinery. From 1976 he taught Technical Studies and Art in secondary education. Chris retired in 1996 but still teaches part-time, and continues to make models and paint pictures.
