By A Correspondent- Seth Van Beek has inked his name in the history book as UK’s youngest qualified commercial pilot.

The 18-year-old successfully completed a GHC634,000 (£85,000) flight school course in Greece after his mother sold her three-bedroom home to fund his dream.

He received his licence from the European Aviation Safety Agency and he received his licence to fly passenger airlines.

Metro UK reports that after 18 months of training and 150 hours in the air, he passed with flying colours.

He said he owes his success to his mum Frances, a 42-year-old Zimbabwean, who had unshakable faith in her son who sold the family’s home to fund her son’s dream.
