Bobby added: “It feels great – it just feels like you did something, you know? Especially when you see“When I landed in the film it was a bit wobbly all over the place but, anyway, I made it.”

The award-winning film, directed by Frank Shouldice and shot by Dave Perry, reveals how Bobby enlisted the help of his neighbour Sean.They even built a hangar in the small rural community to house Bobby’s plane, a Gemini microlite.
