RAF bomber command veteran, 97, takes to the skies one more time
An RAF veteran took to the skies one more time at the grand old age of 97 - thanks to a kind-hearted teenage pilot. Ex-engine fitter Harry Appleton was treated to a 20-minute flight above the skies of Manchester in 18-year-old Nathaniel McMurray's four-seater plane.

I'm in my element when I'm flying, it's one of the best things in my life." Nathaniel went on to perform his first solo flight two years, aged 16, and hasn’t looked back since. He said: "The Royal British Legion does amazing work, and I have friends who have been supported by the charity, so this seems a good opportunity to give something back, whilst also having some fun.
"Nathaniel is an amazing young man and a real credit to his family. For a schoolboy to have the compassion and commitment to make this happen is quite incredible, especially whilst doing his A-levels.
