The Flying Monkeys
Serious flying should be fun!
Starlight 2007 - Popham: 16.08.07
Starlight Children’s Foundation Day
Held at Popham Airfield – Thursday 16th August 2007
A Flying Monkey escapes from the day job, grabs his aeroplane (G-SIXD)
and spends the day with 30 other pilots flying for the Starlight Foundation.
The Starlight Children's Foundation brightens the lives of seriously and terminally ill children,by granting their wishes
and providing hospital entertainment to help take their minds off the pain, fear and isolation of their illness.
Martin Payne was the Flying Monkey involved and had the most fantastic day,
flying 9 flights of between 4 & 5 children plus helpers/parents.
Flight 1 - Julia, Olivia, Emily, Jessica
Flight 2 - Kate, Luke, Andrew & Joanne
Flight 3 - Wendy, Adam, Michael & Melonie
Flight 4 - Brendan, Sarah & Olivia
Flight 5 - Karem & Clarisa
Flight 6 - Pheobe, Hannah & Parents
Flight 7 - Sam & Lumai
Flight 8 - Brandon, Daniel, Sue & Tracy
Flight 9 - Elena, Chloe, Steve & Bec
All thoroughly enjoyed their flights. Below are some of the pictures from the day.
Groups of Hell's Angels were also on hand to give rides on their 'hogs'.
Many thanks to all involved.
