Cranmore enjoyed the visit of a British Airways pilot, a dad of one of the children. “No this is not the crash position, it is the one I adopt if children are too noisy.”

Cranmore lower preps dress up as BA air stewards, complete with name badges and neckerchiefs. “They said we will grow into them.”

This lad from the lower prep thought he was only going to Horsley – but it seems the next stop is Mexico!

“Sorry, teacher says the G&Ts are only for the grown ups!” Cranmore’s very own cabin crew provided refreshments mid-flight.

The children could play act as cabin crew, passengers, or even don the caps and play as pilots. “This is the scenario girls: you haven’t got quite enough fuel to reach your destination. You will have to divert. What expression do we use when we break bad news to the passengers? That’s it, perfect!”

“Stop right there!” A lower prep guides a plane into landing while ground crew checks departures.
