About Us

The ‘Devon Strut’ are a group of sport and recreational flyers and aircraft enthusiasts who operate around the South West from grass airstrips as well as local and regional airfields. As part of our drive to raise awareness about who we are and how we operate we run a number of projects for young people including Scout Aerocamps, Fly a Teacher and Pupil programmes, Young Aviators and of course the ‘Spirit of Devon Youth’ project.

‘Spirit of Devon Youth’ was made possible because of the generosity of Devon Strut member Tim Gilmour White who kindly provided the aircraft kit and workshop facilities at his home.

The aim of the project is for a number of youth groups to build a light aircraft in a number of locations around Devon under the guidance and technical expertise of qualified aircraft inspectors.
