"Hinchliffe is a helicopter pilot and has trained on fixed-wing aircraft up to 737s.He raced go-carts before becoming an experienced saloon-car racing driver." [this might be trivia]
The Norwich Union building he refurbished was 132,000sq ft [trivia?]

He sold computer company Data Memories to Lynx Holdings Plc. (this is supported by a snippet in Investors Chronicle, Volume 89, Financial Times Business Pub, 1989)
