A ROYAL Air Force officer is flying high following his graduation.
Ashleigh Peplow, aged 23, from Bredenbury, near Bromyard, has graduated as a flying officer from the Air Force College in Cranwell, Lincolnshire.
Mr Peplow, who graduated from Worcester University with a BA (Hons) in public services, had an altogether more spectacular ceremony second time around as he and 87 other graduates watched a flypast by Tornado F3 aircraft from the XXV (F) Squadron from RAF Leeming, as Air Vice-Marshall Nigel Bairsto looked on. A Beechcraft King Air B200 was also featured in the flypast and music was performed by the band of the Royal Air Force College.
Mr Peplow, who graduated in late December, will now begin his training as a provost and security officer.
