32 year old Nathan Doidge, born with cerebral palsy, is described as the ‘most profoundly disabled Pilot in the World’.
Nathan recently gained his Private Pilots’ Licence, funded and supported by the DBF Grant Scheme and trained by Aerobility at Blackbushe, and has flown over 14 hours solo. Chris Evans met Nathan and was so taken with him that he rocked up with a TV crew on Tuesday and they shot a piece with Nathan flying Chris and an interview for Friday’s One Show.
Nathan says on the Douglas Bader Foundation Facebook Page: ”If interested, please Like and share this page. I’ll be eternally grateful for DBF’s unwavering and continued support in getting me to where I am today. Thanks everyone” Nathan
