Matthew is enjoying training at Western Air (Thruxton).
The Sir George Gaggero Scholarship 2008 for a PPL
Awarded to: Jennifer Tye

She now holds down several part-time jobs alongside her degree course , is a leading light in the university Concorde Restoration Project and is president of the university’s “most improved club” of the year – the Surf and Wake Board Club. Jen is this year’s model “try, try again” student – 3 previous failed attempts led to this year’s success. Jennifer sent an email to the Guild on 1st July to assure us all that she is having a “great time at Blackbushe … even if it does involve early mornings”!
The Joseph Gaggero Scholarship 2008 for a PPL
Awarded to: Antonia White

Adam is the youngest of the award winners for this year and is currently studying for A levels at the Samuel Whitbread Community College. He is a Sergeant in the ATC and has recently gained his bronze Duke of Edinburgh award. His determination to gain his PPL whilst 17 has led him doing as many odd-jobs as he can – as long as it doesn’t take him far from the Shuttleworth Collection. He has already commenced his ground examinations and is undertaking training at RAF Henlow Flying Club.
The Benevolent Fund Scholarship 2008 for a PPL
Awarded to: Susan Jane Tuddenham
Susan is a Core Skills Trainer with the Civil Service.

In the past she has helped with the building of an orphanage in Romania and more recently Susan has done a sponsored skydive to raise more funds for the project. As with several of the scholarship winners, this year was not Susan’s first attempt, but it was the year her determination brought her to the attention of the assessors.
