Most Disabled Pilot

The most disabled qualified pilot in the UK and, possibly, the world; 'two spirit' shaman; healer; adrenaline-junkie; writer #WhyWalkWhenYouCanFly?

Well, we are about disgusted with @diamondbuses right now. I just tried to catch the.10.55 from Sycamore Road, Burton-on-Trent and, for the first time EVER, I wasn't allowed to go on the bus with my small mobility scooter! Despite them saying it isn't discrimination, IT IS! 😡😡

#MartinLewis A relative of mine gets her state pension and a little bit from when her late husband worked, putting her £2 a month over the threshold to get pension credit, so she can't any of the help that goes with it. Is there anything she can do?

[Most Disabled Pilot @NathanDoidge]

#MartinLewis I'm a regular at my local charity shop and buy most of my clothes there, so if I want to buy something which is a bit expensive for me, I feel ok asking them if they can do it cheaper and they're usually happy to accommodate me

[Most Disabled Pilot @NathanDoidge]

@MartinSLewis I think the price rises were planned at the G7 summit. What better way to make people cut down on fossil fuels than to make them unaffordable. Trouble is to the rich, it's probably little more than an annoyance; to people on lower incomes, it's devastating. Balance is needed

@ladygaga I once got tickets 2 c u but ended up in hospital. I saw my email yesterday about the #ChromaticaBall at #TottenhamHotspur and wanted to take my potential GF, Rachel, as we are both massive fans. We're both disabled and w/c platform tickets are sold out. Pls can u help?

@josierones I have (apparently profound) cerebral palsy AND I'm a crossdresser. It's the perceptions of these kind of idiots I hope we can change. Keep going, Rosie! Thankfully, I think they're in the minority nowadays. If I were you, I'd give them free tickets to a show and point them out😜

[Most Disabled Pilot @NathanDoidge]

@EmmaRaducanu You really have done amazingly and inspired so many people. Good luck for the future. I can't wait to see where you go from here ❤️

[Most Disabled Pilot @NathanDoidge]

Such a great charity. @douglasbaderfou have helped me SO much

Amazing that we started in 1982 doesn’t seem that long ago! https://t.co/DySJXXvVtT

@dragongirl94 Nice landing 😁

[Most Disabled Pilot @NathanDoidge]

Just watched #EddieTheEagle on #Film4. I love films about people doing things despite being told they won't be able to. It reminds me of myself #flying, etc and gives me a little sense of pride 😀

Aw, it was good to see everyone at @Aerobility, too

[Aerobility @Aerobility]

We were so pleased to see our old friend Nathan Doidge this week!
Nathan famously flew DJ and TV presenter @achrisevans
during an episode @BBCTheOneShow many moons ago!

Flew today for the first time in nearly 16 months! The idea was to just to go up with my instructor for fun and laugh at how crap I am now. I wasn't too bad though. After we'd landed, Mike said, "Well, that was impressive. Have you been hijacking aeroplanes or something?" Lol 😀

I recently joined TopCashback. I like it! Thinking of joining yourself? You'll get a free £5 Amazon gift card if you do it through this link - plus I'll be rewarded for it, too 😀https://t.co/qgHX85PrMK

Here we go... Tickets for @BaderFest, the music festival I've been organising in aid of the @DouglasBaderFoundation, are ON SALE NOW and we're kicking things off with some Early Bird tickets. There are only 30 of them though, so you'd better be quick!

[Most Disabled Pilot @NathanDoidge]

I've just signed the petition asking @theresa_may to make sure vulnerable people in England are given the care they deserve! Will you join me? https://t.co/iHcQmRvm82 via @38_degrees

Just watched #TheHouseOfExtraOrdinaryPeople on #channel5. Interesting programme about how they and others react to them being "#different". Looking forward to part 2 tomorrow

[Most Disabled Pilot @NathanDoidge]

On Thursday I completed the Elementary Pilot #paragliding course, then did my first flight on the Club Pilot course, which was my first soaring flight, and stayed airborne for almost 5 minutes. This video is of my second longest flight, before I was allowed to move on to soaring

[Most Disabled Pilot @NathanDoidge]

Another video of me #paragliding last time, landing using the full backwards somersault method, lol
