I didn't know about the Air Squadron and will definitely suggest it.
I know he had a go on a glider through the club last year, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

A pretty sensible combination in 2023. Electric aircraft are in the ascendancy, and even in conventionally powered aeroplanes, there's an increasing move to replace hydraulic systems with lighter electrical systems, particularly on airliners - thus there's an increasing need for the sort of skills combination your son is doing, and I imagine he'll be in demand once he's graduated.
