About Us
Pleasure Flights
Our Founder Trustee, Simon Barnard, has agreed that children who are terminally ill and who have expressed a desire to fly will be taken on short pleasure trips. The aircraft belongs personally to Simon, and he is prepared to sacrifice some of his spare time to take children flying. Should you know of any children and their families that would benefit from this experience please contact us and we will do whatever we can to accommodate them. Simon is a fully qualified pilot and the plane is fully insured and completely airworthy.
