Hello there!
As always, things have been very busy and there’s lots of exciting
news to catch up with. Below are a few stories from the past few weeks – if you have any stories or photos that you would like to share with the Aerobility
community please feel free to email them to Geri (geri@aerobility.com) and we will add them
to the next update!
Blast from the past…
This week we were very pleased to have a visit from Tim
Ellison, one of the founding members of the original British Disabled Flying Club.
Tim landed at Blackbushe in his very impressive BE-36 Bonanza after a flight
across the Atlantic, and the Aerobility team were very keen to take a look!

Tecnam Training
In anticipation of the arrival of our brand-new aircraft,
Tecnam UK Managing Director and friend of Aerobility, Captain Tim Orchard,
visited us at Blackbushe to deliver a bit of ground-school. To ensure that we
are ready to receive the Tecnam, Tim spent some time with some of the
Aerobility instructors and member pilots delivering some preliminary training
and type conversion information.
The ground-school was a great success and we are looking
forward to the delivery of the Tecnam even more now!

Mobility Roadshow, Telford
This year it is the 30th anniversary of the Mobility
Roadshow, and we are delighted to be exhibiting again. With the mobile
simulator and new balloon seats on show, the Aerobility stand is certainly a
highlight!

The Aerobility team, led by Brian, will be at the roadshow until tomorrow. It’s a great opportunity for to showcase the work that we do and make sure that as many people as possible know the opportunities that are available.

FSDP Scholars
Over the last three weeks, we’ve been very lucky to be
joined by two Flying Scholarships for Disabled People scholars. Audrey and
Claire have made amazing progress, battling against poor weather, facing the
dreaded Air Law exams and keeping up with lots of new information.

Both Audrey and Claire have been a great addition to the
Aerobility team at Blackbushe, and as they come to the end of their scholarship
training we wish them the very best of luck in the future!
