Meet the female fourth-generation pilot who has followed a family tradition spanning 100 years

A woman has become the fourth generation of her family to be a pilot in a line of succession she can trace to the dawn of aviation 100 years ago.

Kate Newton, 30, recently qualified as a commercial airline pilot, following in the footsteps of her dad Mark, 58, grandfather John and great-grandfather Hugh.

Like each generation before her, Kate told her family from a young age she wanted to fly as a teen.

Kate recently qualified as a senior first officer and has flown in the easyJet cockpit with dad Mark, 58, three times.
