EDITOR

Guy Leitch was born in England and grew up in South Africa. He has a Master’s degree in Development Finance and is both a Private Pilot with Night and Multi engine ratings and a Glider Pilot.

Guy has had several different careers over the years, and he brings this diverse knowledge and business acumen to the magazine. In the early 1990s Guy was appointed as the Managing Director of a division of a major bank to manage their large book of repossessed properties. At the same time, he started writing and contributing to aviation and financial publications.

In 2005, he wanted to pursue these two passions of aviation and writing more seriously as a career and so, with the support of his wife Nicola, Guy purchased a controlling interest in SA Flyer Magazine.
