LUKE Elsworth has become Britain's youngest ever airline pilot....at the age of 19.

The Daily Mirror says that Luke qualified to fly passenger jets just two years after he was allowed a driver’s licence.

He was offered a job with easyJet after enrolling in the airline’s pilot training programme at CTC Aviation in Southampton almost as soon as they would accept him - just nine days after his 18th birthday.

He described his first flight - from Gatwick to Toulouse in the south of France - as “incredible”. Nature watchers in the UK reckon signs of spring took a week longer to spread across the country this year than in the last two decades.
