In 2024 the VAC Taildragger Scholarship Panel selected twenty-two year old Panayis Yiasimi to receive the award. The annual scholarship pays £1000 toward the awardee's training to upgrade their PPL to enable them to fly vintage taildragger aircraft. Pan says, "I am incredibly excited and grateful to have been selected for the Liz Inwood Taildragger Scholarship this year. My first ever flight from Felthorpe, my home airfield, was in the front of a de Havilland Tiger Moth. I remember the loud noises of the engine and wind, the smell of avgas and the strange feeling of being outside whilst the flight played out in front of me. I was hooked, and I knew then that I wanted to fly vintage aircraft myself one day. Over the past year I have been hour building towards a CPL, flying from Felthorpe in an old 172E. Learning to fly taildraggers will be an excellent boost to my flying skills; I look forward to beginning the training that this Scholarship offers. It is a venture that I could not have afforded to pursue alone. As my commercial training continues, I wish to continue flying light aircraft and aspire to get involved with the Tiger Moth at my home airfield, backed by the training from this scholarship. Thank you very much to everyone at the VAC." Pan received his certificate at the VAC AGM at Old Warden on 26th October.
