After some warm and sunny weather this March, we are all looking forward to Summer. Here are some photos recently taken at EGSR.
Steven Hardy has just started his PPL with us, so we had a chat with him to find out how he’s getting on. – Why did you decide to start your PPL? Aviation has always been a real interest of mine. From taking photos to plane spotting. I have lost 7 stone in weight, […]
