Meet Jules Loakes, one of our incredible 2025 FSDP Scholars, whose journey at the RAF Halton Microlight Club — generously sponsored by the Red Arrows Trust — has been nothing short of life‑changing.
For Jules, learning to fly wasn’t just about taking to the skies. It was about confidence, community, and discovering a version of herself she never thought possible. The experience meant so much that she recently chose to have a tattoo featuring the FSDP logo, the Red Arrows, and an aircraft — a lasting reminder of how deeply this journey has shaped her life.
Jules describes the FSDP family as “a community that lifts you, believes in you, and stays with you long after the scholarship ends.” Her story is a powerful reminder of what happens when opportunity, support, and determination come together.
We’re incredibly proud of Jules and grateful to the Red Arrows Trust for making her scholarship possible.
Here’s to the journeys that stay with us — on the ground, in the air, and everywhere in between.
