Congratulations to student pilot Max Donnelly who today has flown solo for the first time - well done on this great achievement Max!

Max hopes to go on to become a commercial pilot and recent changes by the CAA now mean that the hours Max has attained on the Eurostar microlight will be credited towards the requirements for the CPL - good news indeed!!
