Bevan has had a passion for aviation from a very early age, growing up north of Masterton he took his first flight off the family’s farm airstrip in a top dressing aircraft. At the age of 16 Bevan began his flight training, ultimately gaining his commercial pilots licence, and converting onto the Tiger Moth very shortly after. Since then, Bevan has followed his passion for warbirds and is now rated on many types, most notably; the Sopwith Pup, Royal Aircraft Factory RE8, Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk, Supermarine Spitfire and of the course the North American Harvard. Bevan proudly displays his Harvard in various air shows, and  can be seen at the next Warbirds over Wanaka. When he isn’t flying, Bevan owns and operates a beekeeping company alongside his brother Ryan producing manuka honey.
