Frank Morris: The Man Who Built An Airplane In His Garage
Meet Frank Morris…
Frank Morris is a tinkerer, builder and inventor from Northern Ireland.
After growing up on a "farm" and being inspired by the handiness of his grandas, he always messing about with stuff at a young age including radios, field cars and household appliances.
While touring in a band, he also got into building his own speakers and amplifiers before going to work full-time for BT.
Alongside his day job, Frank worked on many projects at home in his garage ranging from big to small: but none were as big as when he decided to build airplane.
(And learn how to fly it!)
