response to 'Beneath Southern Seas'
Dear Jon,
G’day, my name is LEUT Michael Mitchell (sonar officer HMAS
FARNCOMB)...I have purchased your illustrated book on HMAS
RANKIN and would like to thank you for your fantastic coverage
of the Royal Australian Navy Collins class submarine. It has
given both my family and friends a better understanding into
what I do for a living.
Thankyou again for the insight you have given my friends and
amily. May you have fair winds and following seas in all your
endeavours.
Cheers,
Michael Mitchell

"Over the past 18 years I have flown many photographers and
cameramen. To achieve outstanding results whilst ensuring a
high level of safety each and every flight requires a special
synergy between image maker and pilot. Jon Davison has
that unique talent.
Jon has been working around aircraft for many many years,
his experience is very evident in that he can capture an
outstanding image quickly with apparent ease - that enables
the aircraft to be put into a difficult position for the shortest
possible time - that makes my job safer and shows what a
true professional and an absolute pleasure Jon is to work with."

"Aviation photographer Jon Davison, and aviation
writer Tom Allibone
of Eye in the Sky Productions, have teamed up to produce Beneath
Southern Skies, a sumptuous new coffee-table book.......The photography
in this book is nothing short of outstanding, last month's Classic
Wings
cover bearing testament to this fact.....Davison is more an artist
that a
technical photographer".
Graham Orphan, Editor Classic Wings, (issue
43, April 2004)
Beneath Southern Skies.
Australian Aviation
This high quality 272 page coffee table type book is something special.
I say that because it is not onlynovel in its concept but it is
a good read,
and that's a rare combination in any medium.

"I have known Jon Davison for 5 years to date and met him
originally
at a small business course in 1996. During that period a relationship
developed at a number of levels - as a friend, colleague and client.
Jon's
openess, friendliness and experience blended seamlessly through
these levels producing a sense of comfort and security in our
relationship.
As a technician he has taught himself many skills related to his
craft which
I can relate to and respect as a self taught person in my own
area of
expertise.
Combine good skills with a fertile imagination and the process
of innovation
becomes a pleasure, rather than a struggle.
Then add a large lump of life experience - wisdom born through
world
travel, broad job experineces, a successful marriage, and competency
as a parent and you have a fine human being.
I
look forward to our continuing relationship at all levels and
thoughouly
recommend Jon in anyy form of commercial activity.
