Venue: White Waltham Airfield
Working with Oak Lodge Special School in Barnet, Daytrippers offered a truly unique opportunity for 12 pupils to experience flying in a small light aircraft. Learning about the airplanes whilst on the ground gave the students time to pluck up the courage to take a 20minute flight high in the sky. Nerves were soon forgotten about as the pupils got to look out of the window at the views below. One boy was heard to say over the intercom, ‘I am brave, I LOVE this’ and now wants to fly every week.
This is the second time we have run this event and both proved very successful as it is often the first ever time that a pupil had taken to the skies. A truly special day was had by all!
