While many youngsters are spending their holidays chasing Pokemon or engrossed in computer games, 14-year-old Air Cadet Dylan Crookshanks has been building a plane.

A member of Lisburn’s 817 Squadron, Dylan is also a member of the cadet team of the Northern Ireland Wing of the Air Training Corps, who are currently working together to build a Sting S4 plane at Ulster Aviation Society’s Lisburn hangar.

The project, Centennial Wings, which has been supported by funding from Boeing and the Air League, is in the early stages.
