Douglas Cairns, Loch Lochy by Spean Bridge
Douglas grew up on the banks of Loch Lochy and was educated at
Lochaber High School and Edinburgh University. He became a
Tornado fighter pilot with the RAF, and after flying for 5 years was
diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 1989, resulting in his flying
career ending with the RAF. In 2000 he regained the freedom to fly
in the USA as a licensed private pilot. Ever since then, he has been
supporting JDRF by breaking world records flying around the US. A
few years ago, he broke the existing record of landing in all 48
contiguous states of the USA by 33 hours and raised $27,000 for
Juvenile Diabetes. Then he went on to complete "Diabetes World
Flight" in 2003, the first round-the-world flight by a pilot with type
1 diabetes. Since completing his world flight, Douglas has set five
world speed records and two transcontinental speed records in the
USA in the Diabetes World. Douglas currently works as an
Investment Specialist with Threadneedle Investment Management,
London. In 2003 he wrote a book: Dare to Dream: Flying Solo
with Diabetes. Douglas’s mother, Margaret, is a brilliant pianist and
accompanies many of the competitors at the annual Lochaber Music
Festival. She and her husband, David, must be very proud parents.
