Aero-ist is very proud to  support the Burned Children's Flying Day at Bourn (EGSN) organised by Jim and Pat Dalton in conjunction with the Burned Children's Club Summer Camp at Grafham Water.

 

Pilots volunteered their time and aircraft (fixed and rotary wing) to give the 38 children experience of flying, many taking control themselves. For many this was their first experience of flight. There was also an army of ground helpers to escort the youngsters to and from the aircraft as well as a Chain-mail making demonstration (the kids having a go with Pipe cleaners!) and a Bus supplied by Whippet Coaches for them to try and wear the horn out on! There was also a Pitts giving an Aerobatics demonstration during lunchtime

 

Aero-ist gave each child a tee shirt with a choice between the 'Wes' and 'Pilot/Nav' designs.

 

The Burned Children's Club supports young burn survivors and their families, helping to boost confidence and esteem.

 

The summer camp allows the children to mix with children in a similar situation to themselves and take part in a number of fun and confidence-boosting activities.

 

Please visit their website and offer support where you can:

 

We will post details of the next fund-raising Bacon Butty Fly-in, a breakfast not to be missed!
