Well done to everyone who has been selected. It really is a good news story despite the obvious disappointment of those who didn't make it. It is a fantastic opportunity and I am sure it will be a welcome boost to the industry during this difficult time.
It was never an option for me as Hamble had closed by the time I was old enough and I was too old when Bae Prestwick opened ! I am however a 400h PPL, have a great flying hobby and still enjoy my career outside of aviation.
From my flying experience, the hard work starts now !
