A YOUNG air cadet said farewell to colleagues before embarking on her flying career.

Teenager Stephanie Bailey, 19, from Brierfield, made a final visit to the Pendle Air training Corps, in Clayton Street, for a leaving party. She has been with the 1104 squadron flying troop since she was 13 and now after gaining all her qualifications she is off to at RAF Holton, Buckinghamshire.

There she will tackle seven weeks of intensive training before passing out.
