Anthony Prosper Quiney PhD, FSA, RAI[1] (born 1935)[2] is an architectural historian, building archaeologist, writer and photographer who has lived in Blackheath for many years. Dr. Quiney is Professor Emeritus of Architectural History at the University of Greenwich,[3] a distinguished Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London and President Emeritus of the Royal Archaeological Institute.[4] He has authored several books on the architectural history of England.
As a young boy, he was evacuated from London during the rocket attacks of 1945, to the countryside near a U.S. military airfield, where an American aircrew took him around their B-17 Flying Fortress bomber. This led to a lifelong fascination with military aviation. As a young man, Quiney performed his national service as a radar technician in the Royal Air Force, and later in life he realised a dream of piloting a restored Supermarine Spitfire.
