More thoughts on this coming soon. Could the wind be changing for prospective helicopter pilots as @bristowgroup offer a fully sponsored SAR pilot cadet programme in the U.K.?
We are delighted to be offering the following flights this summer!
They are for aspiring pilots of both genders aged 14 and above with no upper age limit. Keep an eye on our social media and website next week for details and how to apply!

Drinking and flying don’t mix, but when you’ve got a clear schedule for more than a week and a new Type Rating in the bag, there’s no better than @gusbourne to celebrate with. Seriously impressed with this recommendation.

The Junior British Gliding Team is in Lithuania for the Junior European Championships. Good luck everyone and enjoy some challenging, fun and safe racing!
Hot take of the day:
The most important skills for someone wanting to become a pilot, are the ones that will help you learn the skills you actually need when you are one.

6,500 feet above Cambridgeshire this evening. Absolutely stunning and I hope this short video gives you some idea of the thrill of being on board the Hurricane (despite the iffy camerawork 🙄)
