Captain Colin Dobney is a former Stapleford student who progressed as an instructor and then onto the air-charter side of the business. He left to fulfil his ambition to fly for an airline, firstly for Sabre Airways on B737-200 then onto Ryanair as a First Officer and then a Captain.

With approximately 10,000 hours - of which over 5,000 are flying Boeing 737 aircraft, on which he is still current, his flying activity at Stapleford is mostly in an examining capacity for commercial students and IR renewals.
