Harvey Canning is the last of our new 2026 ambassadors to introduce, and a fitting one to round things off. Harvey is a student helicopter pilot learning to fly the Cabri G2 on the south coast. The son of a military aviator, he grew up around aviation, and that early spark is what set him on the path to fly. He is currently working towards his PPL(H), with his sights set well beyond it. Away from training he is a keen airshow-goer, so do say hello if you spot him at a show. You can follow his journey to the PPL(H) and beyond on Instagram at

Meet another of our 2026 Pooleys Ambassadors, Sigourney Ansah, and a big congratulations is in order, because Sigourney completed her first solo yesterday. A brilliant milestone, and a moment every pilot remembers.

Sigourney is a student pilot working towards her PPL at North Weald Flight Centre as an Honourable Company of Air Pilots PPL Scholar. A Department for Transport Aviation Ambassador, she is passionate about opening the next generation’s eyes to aviation careers, something she was not exposed to growing up. Alongside her own training, Sigourney founded She Aviates , where she documents her journey and works to inspire women from underrepresented backgrounds to take to the skies.

Aviation changed David Burns’s life, and now he is helping others get theirs off the ground. An airline pilot and founder of both THE FLYER WATCH COMPANY and the charity Helping Dreams Take Flight

David is turning his own passion into opportunity for others.

In our latest blog he tells us how the charity’s first scholarship year went, from more than 250 applications to seven life-changing scholarships, and what comes next for a cause Pooleys is proud to support. Read the full conversation, link in bio.

Say hello to another of our brilliant Pooleys Ambassadors, Till Roberts. Till is a licensed glider pilot who was, at one point, the youngest licensed pilot in the UK. Now 16, he holds an aerobatics rating and is building his experience in cross-country gliding, alongside serving as a Sergeant in the RAF Air Cadets.

Till has also built a following through his short-form gliding content, which has racked up over 10 million views across TikTok and Instagram. He creates it for two reasons: to share the joy of gliding with people who might never have considered it, and, as a Windrush descendant, to show that aviation is becoming more accessible no matter your background. Flying professionally is the long-term goal.

Outside the cockpit, he enjoys fitness, bouldering and hiking.

Find him at Till Roberts - Welcome to the family Till.

What changed in you before your flying changed?

We met Alexandra Johnson, The Flying Physio at SleapKosh, where she spoke about wellbeing and flying, and we wanted to share her perspective. In our latest guest blog, the chartered physiotherapist and student helicopter pilot explores the subtle physical changes that happen under pressure: how your grip, tension and attention can shift long before it shows up in your flying, and what pilots and instructors can start to notice. A refreshing read in an industry that isn’t always good at talking about how we feel. Link in bio.
