The de Havilland Educational Trust Bursary Schemes 2010.

The aims of the de Havilland Educational Trust (deHET) are:
To encourage and promote the continued operation of historic aeroplanes by:
a) facilitating flying training through the award of bursaries,
and
b) facilitating training of aircraft engineers through the award of bursaries.

To enable people of all backgrounds and ages to experience flights in historic de Havilland aeroplanes.

Fiona McKay Flying Bursary 2010

Each year deHET will award a maximum of two bursaries to fund ten hours flying on de Havilland Tiger Moth aircraft at the Cambridge Flying Group (CFG) or at an alternative establishment/location subject to agreement. The bursaries are to enable licensed pilots to convert onto the de Havilland Tiger Moth, with the aim of providing a new and continuing stream of experience for the operation of vintage aeroplanes.

Applicant Criteria for a Flying Bursary 2010
A current UK licence holder (any class) for a powered fixed-wing aeroplane (single engine piston including touring motorgliders, self-launching motorgliders and three-axis microlight.)

A minimum of 75 hours pilot in command at the time of the application.

Selection Process

A maximum of eight candidates will be selected for interview at Cambridge on a date in April, each also to receive an assessment flight in a Tiger Moth, subject to weather and other operational considerations. As a result a maximum of two bursary awards will be made, subject to confirmation by the Board of Trustees.

Engineering Bursary 2010

Each year deHET will award Engineering Bursaries to individuals who are licensed or unlicensed aircraft engineers with an interest in the restoration and maintenance of vintage aircraft and who are aiming to further their professional experience and qualifications.

Following assessment of written applications, a number of candidates will be called for interview when they will have the opportunity of explaining to the Panel how they would use the funds in the furtherance of their vintage aircraft interests.
