My story

I am attempting to fly round-the-world in a single-engine light aircraft, commencing and finishing in Scotland (Prestwick Airport).  I believe that this is the first time that this will have been done in an aircraft of this class (FAI weight class 1000-1750 Kg) from Scotland.  My flight is self-funded and all donations will go to University of Glasgow Trust.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way. University Of Glasgow Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Please donate generously, and may thanks for your support.  You can see my progress and read my diary at http://www.jimsbigadventure.co.uk

Offline Donations: (£355.00) Many thanks to Noelle, Eileen, Norman, Anne, Peter, Alasdair, Shelagh, Fraser, Brendan, Sandra, Joyce,  May, Harry and Rina, and Anthony.
