'Plane mad' youngster donned a flight suit and climbed 6 MILE mountain to help injured pilots

A 'plane mad' five-year-old inspired after meeting RAF personnel has donned a flight suit and climbed a SIX-MILE mountain to raise money for injured pilots.

Pint-sized captain in the making, Jacob Newson conquered the 2,277 foot high Pen-y-Ghent mountain, one of the biggest peaks in Yorkshire, with his ex-forces veteran dad Andrew.

The youngster, who has been obsessed with jets since he was a baby, raised more than £6,000 for the RAF Benevolent Fund, a charity that provides financial and emotional support to injured pilots and their families.
