The teen teaching people to fly from RAF Shawbury

Seventeen-year-old pilot Amelia Richardson says she wants to inspire more women and girls to take to the skies.

She qualified to fly a glider solo at the age of 14 and is thought to be one of the youngest instructors in the UK.

The Buckinghamshire resident is part of the RAF Shawbury Gliding Club in Shropshire.

While other 17-year-olds are learning to drive, the A-level student said flying had opened up a "whole new world" for her.
