A father and son pilot duo have taken to the skies together for the first time.
John and Luke Sharples, who both fly for Monarch Airlines, took their first flight together from Birmingham airport to Turin.
Dad John, who has worked for Monarch for 29 years, told how almost 25 years ago to the day he was flying a Monarch 757 from Madrid to Gatwick when his wife went into labour with their son, Luke. Mr Sharples, 56, explained how a call from operations asking what time the aircraft would be landing alerted him to the fact that something was up.”
