Wings Around Britain

Polly Vacher today completed 221 airfields in the UK in just over 2 months, even through this nightmare weather. Big congrats to her and Peter, she really is quite an aviator. The challenge was to raise awareness in Flying Scholarships For The Disabled. Couple of weeks ago I met some of the scholars awarded PPL training and quite frankly made me feel humbled in their presence,they have such determination. We in GA are used to flying around and thinking not much to it however, the feeling of that first solo or cross country is special and pilots always remember that. So giving that chance to a disabled gent/lady is pretty special.

MODS- Maybe an advert, but a special day on completion of the challenge!!

Well done Polly!! and GFRGN
