Sir Adrian Swire Flying Scholarship

This scholarship is for current pupils at Wycombe and offers 15 hours of flying instruction with the aim to going solo in a light aircraft. All training will take place at Wycombe Air Centre.
You should be prepared to have a flying medical and to also study for the theory papers. To complete the scholarship, you will need to be highly self-motivated. In selecting the award winner, we will be looking for motivation and interest for flying, academic ability and general ‘get up and go’. Learning to fly does take up time so you should be well organised in your studies. You should investigate what flying is all about and get some trial lessons - maybe learn how to glide. Start early - like the UV or before- we are looking for long term interest!

The scholarship includes travel costs to Booker airfield. Once you are established on the scholarship you take responsibility for arranging to take lessons when convenient. You should realise that good progress can only be made if you concentrate the lessons over a short a period of time as possible.The scholarship is an excellent opportunity to take the first step to a career involved with aviation.Look out for the advert to go up in school in the Spring Term. Details from Mr. Porter.
