Flt Lt Kate Simmonds from RAF Shawbury visits Howell’s School

Howell’s was visited by Flt Lt Kate Simmonds, a helicopter flying instructor from RAF Shawbury recently. Kate has held the rank of Capt in the Army, where she was also a helicopter instructor. She provided the girls with a fascinating insight into her career to date, including mountaineering in the Himalayas, and ski instructing in the Alps for the Army during the winter season.

Every pupil was able to sit at the controls of the Squirrel training helicopter and individually explained how the helicopter flew.
