Cadet Sergeant Bridie Wakeford from 340 (Edenbridge) Squadron has undertaken her RAFA flying scholarship and successfully completed it with a solo flight at South Warwickshire Flying School, and was presented her solo certificate by her instructor Alan Seeds.

 

She applied for the RAFA Flying Scholarship after seeing it advertised on Kent Wing’s Facebook page, and was awarded a place on it earlier in the year and is still grinning from ear to ear.

Bridie said “I want to thank the Royal Air Force Association for the fantastic opportunity this flying scholarship gave me. I’m still ecstatic knowing …that I flew a plane all on my own.”

Many congratulations Cadet Sergeant Wakeford!
