Our Blog is an up to date record of what we have been up to both in the school and out of it. We endeavour to update it as regularly as possible and include a sample the days pictures when available.

You can scroll back through the Blog and follow various students progress through their training and get a good idea of how the school operates.

You will also find records of our trips abroad which will give you a good idea of what to expect should you wish to come on one with us.

Please visit it on a regular basis and feel free to add comments.

Thunderbirds are go!

Early bird catches the worm, Mark gets in the air before things get busy




Getting the kit ready Andrew gives Pete's unit the once over


An early morning start saw 3 of us, Mark F, Pete L and myself (unfortunately Michelle had to work) out in the Derbyshire countryside at Airways Airpark for some more of the Power stuff as the weather in Cornwall did not look good. It wasn't long before we were up in the air using forward launches in the light conditions and then revertiing to reverse launches as the breeze filled in. The day was spent perfecting techniques both in the air and on the ground along with all that usefull information and thoses invaluable tips that not only make your life safer but a lot easier as well. By the end of a long day everyone had all moved forward in our training and skills with Pete making good inroads into his restricted endorsement and Mark just needing some additional airtime, a 30k XC and an exam for his full endorsement. A long and tiring day after a long drive but well worth the effort, thanks to Pete for all the driving.
