Luke Keady (19) from Tynemouth has joined the Royal Air Force as an officer, after completing a tough training course at the RAF College Cranwell. Luke was selected for officer training from hundreds of other candidates.

Luke, an ex-student from Marden High School was delighted to be accepted. "I've always wanted to be a pilot and to be accepted in the RAF was like a dream come to true." Luke completed his training course at RAF Cranwell and passed out as a pilot officer recently.

His family were present at his graduation. Luke's friends at 346 (Tynemouth) Squadron were also pleased with the news. Luke's mentor, Squadron Leader Jack Kennedy _MBE was particularly pleased, he told us "Luke worked incredibly hard as a cadet on the squadron and I sure he will rise quickly in the RAF." Luke is waiting to start his flying training at RAF Linton-on-Ouse.
