Awww bless him.
I've seen him a few times around Coningsby, definitley be finding a way to give.
Wonder if he'd appreciate being stopped on route by a crazy lady :)) :D

Good luck to him :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

And he's also been offered a trip in an aircaft from Wickenby :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

"I am the chairman of a charity called Flights for Life and together with a few other pilots and friends we operate from Wickenby airfield near Lincoln.

The aim of our charity is to fly children who are suffering with a life shortening or life threatening illness in one of a few vintage aircraft that we have over at Wickenby, and I would like to offer Sean a flight in one of our aircraft if he wishes.

The flights are totally free and last about 30 minutes or so flying around the local area and, subject to a doctors approval, we would be delighted to take Sean for such a trip.

I appreciate it's not 'sponsorship' but I hope it will give this young man a thrill and fitting reward for all his hard work.

Kind regards
Terry K Rumble"


Really hope his doctor/s say yes :ymapplause: :ymapplause:
