Blackpool grandmother Olive's aerial treat for her 101st birthday
Olive Davies, who lives in North Shore, told her son Peter Davies, 61, who has held a pilot’s licence for over 40 years, that she had never flown with him.
So Peter arranged a surprise flight for his mum Olive, taking her up in the air in a borrowed aircraft.

He says: “My nephew Zachary Meares-Davies, 26, took my mum to Blackpool airport and I was waiting to take her up in a plane.
“It was a total surprise and she was really thrilled.
“We flew for 20 minutes up and down above the Promenade and the Tower.
“She was not nervous at all. She has lived in Blackpool for 60 years but has never seen it from a plane.
“She had a really good view and she really enjoyed the experience.”
