The Jon Egging Trust ('JET') trust was set up in honour of Flt Lt Jon Egging, who tragically lost his life on the 20th August 2011 whilst completing an air display at the Bournemouth Air Festival; he was coming to the end of his first year with the world-famous Royal Air Force Red Arrows aerobatic team, flying in the Red 4 position. Jon was passionate about inspiring young people through a love of flying and enthusiasm for teamwork. The Jon Egging Trust has been set up to realise his dream by Jon’s wife Dr Emma Egging, his mother Dawn Egging, childhood friend James Godley and Red Arrow’s pilot Ben Plank. We have developed an exciting and unique youth engagement programme – Blue Skies – which provides new opportunities to help disadvantaged young people achieve their full potential. Following the huge success of our pilot Blue Skies project in Lincolnshire in 2012, we are now working in eight regions: Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Dorset, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Yorkshire, North Wales and the West Midlands. We have also developed a second youth engagement initiative: Inspirational Outreach. We deliver both schemes in conjunction with our partners from the worlds of aviation and STEM. The Jon Egging Trust believes that all young people should have the opportunity to be the best they can be. Our aim is to work with 10,000 young people every year, transforming as many young lives as possible.
