Simulator flight in friend's memory

A young man with incurable lung cancer has taken a simulator flight in memory of his friend who helped build it.

Toby Brooker, from Cambridge, flew the model F-35B fighter jet, part-made by Dom Feaks, at a centre in Mildenhall, Suffolk.

The 21-year-old, who Mr Brooker met through the Teenage Cancer Trust, died from bone cancer in June.

"He was supposed to be the first person to fly this. I hope I did him proud," said Mr Brooker.

Seven 13-24 year olds are diagnosed with cancer every day, according to the Teenage Cancer Trust.
