John Fielden Junior Scholarship Award

4 Places Available in 2013

For many people John Fielden was Enterprise. Fighting the growing restrictions of competition flying Phillip Wills asked John to hold the 'Enterprise' Baton when the competition first started in 1974. From that date he successfully directed virtually every Enterprise until his death in 2002. It was always his desire to encourage younger pilots to follow his philosophy and indeed several Junior Squad pilots, led by Andy Perkins, joined us at North Hill in 2002, see photo below. John's legacy has made available the chance for 2 Junior Entrants to fly at Enterprise at minimal cost.
