☀️🚗 Another fantastic Under 17’s evening at the airfield and, for once, the weather was on our side! 🙌🏻😂

Three instructors out this evening with another great group of young drivers, all getting plenty of valuable time behind the wheel.

🚗 Sarah took Ben & Ellie
🚗 Charlotte took Emily & Jamie
🚗 Tim took Marcie & Maiya

There was plenty going on around us tonight too, as harvesting was in full swing on the airfield! 🌾🚜 As well as being our driving playground, it’s also a working farm, so we had tractors and farm machinery busy around us – definitely adding something a little different to tonight’s sessions! 😂

Tonight we stepped things up with reverse slalom and manoeuvres, alongside all the usual skills – clutch control, steering, gear changes, observations, reversing and building that all-important confidence behind the wheel. 🚗💨

It’s always brilliant to see the progress from session to session. Things that seemed daunting the first time suddenly start to click, and the confidence just keeps growing. 👏🏻☺️

A slightly special one for Ellie tonight too, as her Under 17’s journey is nearly over! She turns 17 and starts her official on-road lessons with Sarah on 5th September 🎉🚗 We can’t wait to get you out on the roads and start the next chapter!

Huge well done to Ben, Ellie, Emily, Jamie, Marcie and Maiya – you all did brilliantly tonight! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Another fab evening at the airfield – sunshine, driving, manoeuvres and a bit of harvesting thrown in for good measure! 🌾🚜😂

Well done everyone! 👏🏻🚗☺️
