Armstrong/Isaacs Foundation

 

January 2013 - Latest Update

 

Two awards were made of a Flying Scholarship towards a private pilot's licence as an outcome of the 2012 Armstrong Isaacs Scholarship competition.

 

The awards were made to:

 

            Emma Reynolds
and

            Geoff Burroughs

 

We wish them both well in the training and hopefully better flying weather than last year.

 

History of the Foundation

The Foundation is based on two major donations from David Armstrong, a very early member of the LAA and the equally eminent John Isaacs, the designer of the Isaacs Fury and 7/10 scale Isaacs Spitfire, both now sadly no longer with us, plus many smaller donations from individuals and Struts. 

The purpose of the Foundation is to provide a Flying Scholarship towards a private pilot's licence on a regular basis to a young person between the ages of 17 and 21 at the date of application.  Applicants do need to be a student member of the LAA on application.  Currently the charge for student membership is £15 per annum and will therefore be eligible for all LAA Student Member benefits including the monthly magazine.
