I will let you all know...!

Hey- well this is crazy!! Wally Holmes did run Leeds Heilport and he is also my Grandfather, he has now passed away but he was an amazing man, a character and often a very difficult guy however, he was well before his time with introducing Leeds Heliport and as well as running his companies he also became a qualified engineer. He also gave many people their first chance and oppurtunity to become a pilot at Leeds and was a Capt. despite what some may say!!

The place is now Saw Wood House which is still owned by my family and i have recently begun my PPL for my 21st i am up to 10hours and loving it sadly my Granddad is not around to see and help me,

Anyway hope that helps some people!
