Deenethorpe Charity Fly-in
16-17 August, 2025
Charity Fly-in in memory of Claire Lomas MBE, who tragically died 22 August 2024. Claire became a paraplegic after breaking her back in a horse riding accident but it didn’t stop her living life to the full – including learning to fly a flex-wing microlight.
Claire was a fabulous advocate for the freedom of flight in her own words: “I have found a lot of things that I am able to do, flying being one of them, and I love the fact that I can get out of the wheelchair and can be like any other pilot – and also the freedom it gives me”
Before Claire died she had raised £952,000 for the Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation, a group of her family and friends are going to keep Claire’s challenge alive – and hope to hit her dream target of £1,000,000 one day.
