Georgia Williams' mother in high-flying tribute to teenager - with video
The mother of Georgia Williams has flown in a plane that her teenage daughter helped to build.
In October, the Georgia Williams Trust bought the plane as part of its work to open up opportunities to young people in Telford.
Now, Lynnette Williams has been among the first to fly in the craft, which has been named after Georgia, who had been an air cadet.
The aircraft was built over five years by pupils from Ercall Wood Technology College and Langley Academy.
The plane flew in both Cosford Air Show and the Fareham Air Show and will offer pleasure flights to disadvantaged and disabled young people and will be used as a teaching tool at air bases across the country.
The plane carries the registration of GWFT, which stands for Georgia Williams, Ferret, which was her nickname and Georgia worked on the plane from the start.
Lynnette said: "I know she wanted to be the first up in the plane and flying it.
"Then you've got the thoughts that she had a hand in making it and so much fun, to be honest.
"She just loved doing it and I wish she'd have been able to go up in it really."
Supplied in a kit form to the schools, the American-designed RANS 6 aircraft was funded by Boeing, with the project organised and supported by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS).
The Georgia Williams Trust was set up in memory of the 17-year-old, who was murdered in May 2013. Her killer Jamie Reynolds is serving a whole-life sentence for murder.
Lynnette now visits schools across Shropshire to raise awareness of the trust and the money it can provide for young people who want to have life changing experiences.
