Take to the Skies, Life's too Short

Pat and Ian Farr of Newton had a busy weekend flying. On Saturday 12th of June Ian undertook a Wing Walk to celebrate his 75th birthday in April and to ask sponsors to support local charities instead of buying birthday gifts. This was very successful.

Pat, a Battle of Britain baby, celebrated her 80th birthday last year. Amongst her gifts was a flight in a Spitfire which she willingly undertook on the 13th of June. Having flown over London, she also flew two victory rolls before being handed control of this short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft that came into its own during the Battle of Britain. Not bad going for an 80 year old great granny.
