President Hunt is the youngest person and the first RAF Officer to hold the position and will deliver his George Stephenson Lecture in the Sydney CBD. The event will be open to all members and there will also be an opportunity to ask questions at the end.

Mark has been an Engineer Officer in the RAF for 18 years. Mark is now the Type Airworthiness Authority for the Royal Air Force’s intelligence gathering, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance fleets of Sentinel and Sentry aircraft. His last role was as Chief Air Engineer at the Royal Air Force’s largest main operating base, Brize Norton, home of the Air Transport and Air-to-air Refuelling Force and gateway to Defence operations.

Mark has said of his term in office “I want to use my year as President to demonstrate what engineers have to offer society, and to broaden public awareness of how engineers are improving the world we live in. I also want to help galvanise action to inspire the next generation of engineering innovators and work hard to encourage more diversity in the industry.”
