William Tino Smith
aka Bill Smith
Avionics Principal Specialist — IFC / Satcom / Linux
Born and raised in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, Bill went from Batford Juniors to Manland Secondary School — now St John Lawes — before an early fascination with aircraft took him to Hatfield, today the University of Hertfordshire, and a degree in Aeronautical Engineering.
What started as a love of flight became a life spent around it. Aircrew and avionics training carried him to airfields, hangars and training centres around the world, and a career across aviation, satellite communications and networking has kept him moving ever since — from AOG call-outs and VVIP flight decks to satellite ground stations on several continents.
Still curious, still hands-on, and happiest solving the problem no one else can.
