Herefordshire teenager becomes UK's youngest pilot

Available for over a year

A teenager from Herefordshire who "fell in love" with planes as a child has become the UK's youngest pilot - at the age of 17! Milo Gwilliam-Baulch, a student from Kington, was inspired by watching planes fly over his house towards Shobdon Airfield when he was a young child - and when he was 9 his family paid for him to have his first ride. For the last three years he's been learning to fly at Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green Airport - and was rewarded on his 17th birthday, when he was given his licence.
