The regional finalists have been determined as follows:

We are pleased to announce that the number of applicants this year have exceeded the numbers from last year by a good margin. Also the number of Flight Training Units who have had pilots compete this year is up by 25% from last year as well. This indicates a greater awareness and interest in the Webster programme and we hope that this upward trend continues into next year as well.
