A seven-year-old boy who dreams of becoming a Royal Airforce Pilot took his first flying lesson and even flew the plane for a few seconds.
Before the pandemic struck, the RAF-obsessed boy was due to retrace the escape route of New Zealand's most famous World War II pilot Alan Deere in Dunkirk for charity. Remarkably, he flew out of White Waltham Airfield, near Maidenhead, where Air Commodore Alan Deere first trained when he arrived in Britain. The promising pilot, who was dressed in his favorite RAF flying suit, said he was scared at first but as soon as he landed he wanted to go back in the air. "At first I was feeling a bit scared, but when the engine was about to start up I said I was going to be brave," Jacob said, adding: "I wanted to loopty loop. But dad didn’t want to, but I felt very comfortable flying ... It was one of the best experiences of my life."More Related News
