GOING SOLO: Fred Thomas is congratulated by instructor John Tindall on his solo flight.
Mr Thomas said: "The weather has not been great recently, but that was beautiful and we flew a few circuits before John asked me if I'd like to do one on my own.
" I didn't have time to be nervous and before I knew it I was in the air. I completed the circuit and made a good landing. The Tower came on the radio and congratulated me on going solo for the first time. It was a wonderful moment and I will remember it for the rest of my life. "
