We are delighted to introduce our newest instructor, Richard Young. Richard comes to us from Lydd Aero Club where he held the position of CFI. He has also gained quite a bit of Multi Engine experience flying PA34 Seneca’s for a photographic company. Richard now instructs for the Multi/IR and CPL.

This month also saw a departure from the instructor team, when James Austin left us to join Netjets. James was a very popular instructor, and had been with BFC for over 2 years. We wish him all the best in his new position.
