3 years on, I still remember my grandad John Harlow (1947-2023). I continue working to progress further in my career and honor my promise to him. “1000 free flights on a suborbital rocket, for just 1 into orbit”.

So I come to the conclusion of my week at Cranfield University’s introduction to applied flight control course. It was a wise decision to do, for what I’ve learned and had the chance to experience. It is for the great group I’ve done it with. I got the call I’ve been waiting for

Day 4 at Cranfield. Today I tried out the cockpit simulator it can be handy having automatic flight controls but knowing when to turn them on and off is the key to a safe landing.

12 years later, I have returned to Cranfield University. This week, I’m taking “Introduction to applied flight control”. I have flown gliders, now I learn about the flight control systems for larger more advanced aerospace vehicles.

I have done it again. I’ve run 5 km for the race for life in 28 minutes and 18 seconds. For my grandad John Harlow (1947-2023). We are beating cancer and I will keep doing my part to help in the battle.
