A veteran pilot has returned to the skies to celebrate his 101st birthday. Bernard Gardiner took off in the world’s only two-seat Hawker Hurricane having last flown it more than 80 years ago during the Second World War. The flight was a thank you from the Hawker Preservation Group after Bernard’s support to help raise funds for the rebuild of another aircraft, the Hawker Typhoon, that he also flew during WW2. The group is hoping to raise £6.5 million to restore it back to its former glory. In this heartwarming video, you can watch Bernard soar through the skies once again in a Hawker Hurricane, reliving his memories and embodying the spirit of courage that defined an era.
