The weather for our 18th September could not have been more perfect and with 31 families booked to fly around the island with our volunteer pilots, it was a busy day!However, the time passed quickly thanks to the other activities which kept the children busy.Very popular were the Ports of Jersey Fire and Rescue Team with their fire truck and light aircraft, they are always one of the highlights of the day.Everyone enjoyed the return visit of the Police Dogs with their handlers Sgt Dave Bisson and PC Duncan Gray. Everyone was fascinated by the demonstration but also by the obvious the enjoyment the dogs get out of it!New this year were rides in a vintage potato lorry driven by John Le Ruez and that too proved very popular.Within the Club room of the JAC, there was also plenty to do - a visit from Chicano, the magician, had the children spell bound whilst many of them loved having their face painted by Mia.The children were given pictures of Paddington Bear to colour in memory of Queen Elizabeth . Those will, hopefully, be our Christmas tree decorations at St. Peter’s church for their Christmas tree festival.

Heather's First Flight Helping Wings is delighted to award the 2022 flying bursary sponsored by Ports of Jersey to Heather Armstrong. 16 years old Heather who is profoundly deaf thoroughly enjoyed her first flight with Synergy instructor Martin (pictured).Heather who is about to start 6th form at Jersey College for Girls loves horse riding and ballet. She will be adding flying to her list of achievements!We wish her well with her flying and look forward to posting updates on our Facebook page.We also wish to thank Ports of Jersey for their continued support.

Having been contacted by our Patron, H.E. Sir Stephen Dalton about the possibility to fly for The Not Forgotten, we were able to organise a morning of flying on June 16th. Once again, we are so grateful to our volunteer pilots and our support team.

Our guest enjoyed their trips on planes and boats
