Although I'm not too young, I can still remember what I was like to fly before I could drive.
I applied to the RAF for a flying scholarship. I was awared it and took it at Manston in Summer of 99. Serious fun! I'd recommed it to all young aviators that want 20 hours FREE!
After that when I went to Uni I joined the University Air Squadron and took another 140 hours off the RAF. I'd recommed that process to young people with little cash too.
Now I'm looking around for a job in the industry. It's looking like a though one to crack though.

Is Manston Flying Club still owned/run by the Girdlers? Ted was a fantastic pilot he helped quite a few of my friends pass there handling tests on the Scholarship.

Good luck you young aviators.
