Our Other Committee Members
Gabriella
Somerville
Over the past year, Gabriella Somerville has shared her spare
time between two passions - flying, and the children's charity
that is close to her heart, fly2help.
She has worked in commercial aviation for 13 years, is on
the Board of the Alpine Aviators Company, and is working towards
completing flight training for her private pilot's licence.
After learning about fly2help
from Phill O'Dell last year, Gabriella was keen to become
involved, and is delighted that her role as Customer Relations
Manager for Bombardier Skyjet International allows her to
assist with major events for fly2help
throughout the year. Gabriella was pivotal in creating a memorable
event for a group of young children from Chase Hospice, who
were taken by RAF Chinook helicopter to Farnborough TAG Airport
to meet F1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton. They were then flown
by two Bombardier Learjets to Disney Resort Paris.
