Sussex Flying Club Host Special Needs Children

Special needs students at Shoreham

One of the SFC members, Sally Adams is a teacher at a Special Needs School. She is
passionate about flying and believes her pupils should have the chance to fly.
On 21st July, 8 special needs pupils and 4 staff set off in the school mini-bus from East Finchley for the South Coast, specifically Shoreham airport. Sally had organised with James Crabbe, Managing Director of Sussex Flying Club for the pupils to fly in a Piper PA28. Each pupil flew for about 30 mins to the East, over Brighton Marina and Seaford. The flights were followed by a Visitor Centre tour of the airport, ending with lunch in the restauarant. Sally said,”The pupils thoroughly enjoyed it and I am very grateful to James and his pilots for making it such a memorable day.”
